*Hello on this blustery and chilly November morning. The worst of hurricane Sandy’s effects are behind us and I hope that everyone is safe and accounted for. So another Halloween has come and gone, and our attention turns toward the ‘official’ kick off of the holiday season. Many are planning to travel to see friends and family. Amid all of those travels, and as the spooky side of Halloween is still felt during this autumn transition, some may feel the adventurous itch to visit one of the many haunted hotels that are all the rage. But beware of these tourist traps, for they might provide a real scare. No, not a ghost, but the disappearance of your cash.*

Hollywood continues to affect reality as haunted hotel investigations and tours have seen a dramatic increase in recent years.

It’s big business for all involved- paranormal groups get to come in and do their thing, guests are intrigued by the promise of a spooky encounter, and the hotels get free marketing out of it all, no matter what the results may be.

Entire packages are sold to groups, or individuals, who can come stay at a reportedly haunted hotel and go on “haunted” tours. Try typing in “ghost tours” into a search engine sometime. I did and instantly received 6.3 MILLION results. Big numbers; big business; and folks naïve enough to shell out cash for a thrill- a recipe for success.
