2. The Manor Master Chamber, St. Paul, Minnesota, US
This 1883 stone house looks straight out of a haunted movie poster, and for good reason. Legend has it, the ghost of Rosalia Finh, a young girl who died of typhoid, still haunts the halls. The current owner, Sean, once found a hair beret and had a vivid vision of a girl in white. Guests often report strange energy, especially near Rosalia’s old bedroom closet. Even Sean’s Doberman, Scorch, used to bark at nothing—perhaps seeing what others couldn’t.
3. Laura's Cottage, Savannah, Georgia, US
Built in 1799, Laura’s Cottage features exposed pine beams, antique furniture, and a cozy Juliet balcony. Set in a quiet urban woodland, it’s a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city.

6. Parks-Bowman Mansion, New Orleans, Louisiana, US
In the heart of New Orleans' Garden District, the 130-year-old Parks-Bowman Mansion holds a chilling secret.

Believed to be the daughter of the original owners, she passed away in the 1890s and was buried on the grounds. Guests have shared eerie tales of hearing soft lullabies, light footsteps with a noticeable limp, and even finding their belongings mysteriously moved. If you’re feeling brave, this haunted room promises a spooky and unforgettable stay.
