The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina, was once the home of George Vanderbilt II. Today, the estate and nearby winery are now open to the public. But many refuse to go to Biltmore because they believe that the Vanderbilts still haunt the estate.

Some tourists claimed to have heard Judith Vanderbilt say her husband’s name, “George.” Others have heard the sounds of a party nearby–clinking glasses, talking, laughter–only to see an empty room. Reportedly, most people see ghosts along the main stairway and the library. If you’re brave enough, you can tour it.

Have you ever read Stephen King’s The Shining? The fictional hotel in that story is directly based on the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. King and his wife stayed overnight when hardly any guests were around. During that night, King had a lucid dream about being chased around the hotel, which inspired The Shining.

The Stanley Hotel has many alleged ghosts. One is the original owner, Freelan Oscar Stanley. Others are children said to roam the hotel. The most haunted rooms are 217 (where King stayed), 401, 407, and 438.
