Thursday Thirteen #87
It’s October already! Where did September go? Mind you, I’m not complaining, as October is my favorite month. (This might possibly have something to do with my birthday…maybe.) In honor of this spooky month, I have drawn together a list of Thirteen of California’s Haunted Hotels. Personally, I avoid ghosts, but I know that there are some folks who view haunted hotels as vacation destinations. So, here are some places that you may wish to check out.
13 Haunted Hotels in California:
1. The 1859 Historic National Hotel – Jamestown, CA
2. Queen Anne Hotel – San Francisco, CA
3. Cary House Hotel – Placerville, CA
4. The Union Hotel – Benicia, CA
5. Brookdale Lodge – Brookdale, CA
6. Sierra Nevada House – Coloma, CA
7. Fallon House Hotel and Theater – Columbia, CA (they seem to be moving to new management, hence, no direct link.)
8. The Grey Whale Inn – Fort Bragg, CA
9. Holbrooke Hotel – Grass Valley, CA
10. The Groveland Hotel – Groveland, CA
11. Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel – Hollywood, CA
12. The Queen Mary – Long Beach, CA
13. Hotel Leger – Mokelumne Hill, CA

What a fun list. I will be sure to keep it far away from my husband, because he would drag us to all of them if he could. Happy Birthday early and a Happy TT!!
I’ll be very careful not to stay at any of them. I’m simply not in the mood to be haunted right now. Maybe next year.
Ohhhh… I’d love to tour a few of these. I love ghosty kinds of things.
Happy B-day and Happy TT.

Huh, who would think California had so many haunted hotels. Happy TT and Birthday!
Wow That sure is quite a few in one place. They have a haunted house tour here I’ve been meaning to go on.
Happy T13!
I dig haunted houses — from a distance. But did you forget the weird one in or near San Fran? Hmm. It may not be a hotel.
Happy birthday a little early!
Thanks for the birthday wishes, all. I’ll be up a mountain on Sunday…avoiding haunted hotels.
Tracie, better not tell him that this is just a small sampling either.
Forewarned is forearmed, right Alice Audrey?
Mary, the Gold Country is haunted hotel central, apparently.
Brenda, California is a bit too full of them in my opinion.
Which tour, Adelle?
The Winchester Mystery House, Susan?
Fun list for this time of year especially … one I’ll want to return to and check out the links when time permits. Thanks for compiling and sharing it.
Hugs and blessings,
huh, my DH’s birthday is friday — and he isn’t a ghost person either. Maybe the October babies don’t need ghosts?
