Would You Stay At A Haunted Hotel? Or One With Bad Vibes?

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a quirky person, and some people will probably think I’m really strange for admitting these things. However, I’m curious if I’m alone in feeling this way. I’ve written in the past about some of my strange habits when staying at hotels, but let me admit an unusual habit I have when it comes to actually deciding which hotels I book…

I avoid haunted hotels, and hotels with bad energy

There are quite a few hotels out there that some people believe are haunted, whatever that actually means. For some hotels, being haunted is a selling point, and they lean into paranormal tourism.

For other hotels, it’s something they don’t try to highlight, and it simply reflects something in the property’s past. Maybe it’s about the land the hotel is built on, maybe it’s because of something tragic that happened at the hotel in the past, etc.

I have to admit, regardless of whether it’s something the hotel tries to promote or deny, I avoid hotels that are rumored to be haunted. Let me be clear — it’s not that I’m actually scared for my safety, and think I’m going to be abducted, or something.

However, I’m a spiritually open person, and I do on some level believe in the energy of a place. I’m not some conspiracy theorist when it comes to this kind of stuff, but sometimes I walk into a room and just feel like the energy is bad, and the room gives me chills. Now, the mind is powerful, and that might largely reflect what’s going on in my head and what I’m perceiving, rather than anything that actually exists in a space.

Regardless, I probably get in my own way when it comes to “haunted” places. I just don’t feel at ease, and I won’t stay at them. Speaking of energy, sometimes I’ve walked into hotel rooms and have gotten a really strange vibe. In fairness, the bad energy thing is a two-way street. After all, I’ve had hotel owners accuse me of having bad energy.
