There are several haunted hotels of the south. The Southern region of the United States has been identified as the most distinct when it comes to culture. Not only do the individuals of this region believe so, several other individuals located throughout the United States also hold this belief.

This particular location has a tremendous amount of haunted places – especially haunted hotels.
