8 Haunted Hotels in North America

1. The Carolina Hotel, Chapel Hill, North Carolina

The Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill is said to be haunted by the ghost of Dr. William Jacocks, who worked with the International Health Division of the Rockefeller Foundation and lived in the inn for 17 years until his death in 1965. During on-site visits by "Paranormal investigators" Haunted North Carolina in 2002 and 2009, a research team made audio and video recordings that captured footsteps and a door slamming shut in an empty room and the faint sounds of a piano playing—though none was being played at the time.

Get a glimpse into the Carolina Inn's haunted happenings with a video tour available on YouTube , and if you make it to Chapel Hill, try to book a room in Dr. Jacocks' former suite for the greatest chance of a ghoulish encounter.
