Haunted Hotels of the West
~John Philpot Curran The West region of the United States has several haunted hotels. This region of the United States is often referred to as the “American West”. All throughout history, this region has played an important role in the country’s past as well as the folklore associated with America in general. This region is considered to be the largest in the entire country because of the fact that the total land consists of over half of the total land in the United States. This region is noted as being one of the most geographically diverse because of the fact that it consists of the coast that lines the Pacific, the grand Rocky Mountains, the coast that lines the Gulf, and more! It is not at all surprising that there are a vast number of hotels that are rumored to be haunted. The West has many historical events that have contributed to the popularity of the region as well as the haunted tales that are expressed throughout the region. These events include, but are not limited to, the Gold Rush, the development of the transcontinental railroad, the influx of the Native American population, the development of various types of computer and aerospace technology, the famous Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, and the popularity associated with the cowboys that once rode the lands that make up the West. There are many stories passed down from generation to generation that speak of the spirits, the curses, the poltergeists, and the general ghosts that are said to be part of the haunted hotels of this region. The West consists of many different states. These include Alaska, Wyoming, Arizona, Washington, California, Utah, Colorado, Oregon, Hawaii, New Mexico, Idaho, Nevada, and Montana. The largest areas of the West are Los Angeles, California; Phoenix, Arizona; San Francisco, California; Seattle, Washington and Denver, Colorado.
