You know the story, American girl falls in love with a British guy. He promises to come back to America to marry her. He doesn’t. She dies, single and alone after waiting over 40 years for him and subsequently becomes a ghost. Well, if you’d like to get better acquainted with this lovelorn lost soul, then book a room or a table. This historic landmark is not only an inn but also a restaurant.

Girl meets boy. Boy goes to fight in the Civil War. Boy dies. Girl dies of a broken heart. The anguished ghost of Lizzie Rowland is still rumored to haunt the Edgewood Plantation. Check it out and book a room if you dare… and look for her name carved into a window pane on the upper level.

Charleston, SC

This charming Charleston inn is home to several ghosts. A headless torso haunts Room 8. Some guests have reported he watches them while they sleep (not sure how he does that without a head) and he breathes quite heavily (on a side note, I’ve got an ex-boyfriend who also fits this profile). Lastly, Room 10 is home to a “gentleman ghost”, so take that however you’d like.

Elm Grove, LA

Talk about a bridezilla from hell! The woman who haunts this historic abandoned tower is rumored to be a bride who is still waiting for her soon-to-be husband who unfortunately died in a car accident. Take your honeybun there for a candlelit evening picnic and listen for the screams that accompany the bell tolls at midnight.

Previous tenant, “Doctor” Norman Baker was said to have performed questionable medical techniques on both the living and the dead. There are many restless spirits here, including a sexy Irish stonemason who fell to his death in 1885.

There's nothing quite like a paranormal experience to bond you and your S.O. Just ask Demi Moore in "Ghost".
