8/10 The Manor
Lovers of all things Hallow’s Eve can book a private room on Airbnb in an 1883 Tudor-style home. Upon sight, this manor gives off some seriously spooky vibes, and when you combine that with the antique furniture, guests are in for an eerie stay. Even if this home isn’t the most haunted, it’s still the perfect location for a murder mystery dinner or Halloween celebration.

7/10 Laura’s Cottage
Built in 1799, Laura’s Cottage feels like a doorway to another time and place. Located in Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, this cozy cottage offers a quaint stay, ideal for couples—well and ghostly Laura too—as she was always a part of the deal. The original resident of said home, the spirit of Laura, can often be seen tending to the garden or rocking in one of the front porch chairs. Though Laura seems like a friendly apparition, she definitely knows how to put on a scary show, complete with lights flickering and windows opening on her own.

6/10 The Enslin Mansion
Situated in the historic village of Lansingburgh, The Enslin Mansion was passed down through generations before it became an Airbnb and an overall experience. Rumored paranormal activity has made this abode quite popular. Guests have reported various ghostly encounters near the second floor and the attic. Of course, if you consider yourself to be a final girl, then you should think twice before going into any haunted attic. That said, some stay highlights include extra haunted bedrooms, a spookeasy dinner/ghost tour/mentalism show, and more.

5/10 Benton Park Suite
This Airbnb stay is sort of like horror adjacent. Built in 1890 by the same mason who built the house next door, Benton Park has definitely seen some things. Just one house down, The Lemp Mansion was the site of an unexplainable tragedy. Shortly after its construction, the family that moved in suddenly began to die off one by one. Unfortunately, the paranormal neighbors of Benton Park don’t respect the property line and sometimes pop on by to make their presence known (so, here’s hoping it’s just for a cup of sugar).

4/10 Haunted Hospital Stay
The former Traverse City State Hospital in Michigan was converted into an apartment complex ages ago, but it still seems to be more than a little haunted. Many believe that some of the patients of this forgotten hospital/asylum from 1885 may have stuck around. You can book a nice little Airbnb stay here and find out if this urban legend of sorts and all the recounted stories online are true. Here, guests can enjoy cozy digs, a stocked kitchen, views of the surrounding property, plus convenient access to the nearby restaurants and shops.

3/10 Ghost town ruins
If you’ve ever wanted to spend a few days in an actual ghost town, well, here’s your chance. A former mining boomtown called Terlingua has a rather unique stay you can book on Airbnb. Of course, everyone knows those ghost towns are haunted, so be prepared for the unexpected. Here guests can enjoy a ghostly getaway in a 100-year-old miner’s casita with all the conveniences of home—a spacious bedroom, living room, kitchen, and an outdoor bathroom. A bonus here is that Big Bend National Park is just around the corner.

2/10 The BlackMonarch
This Victorian-era building that you and 15 of your closest friends can rent has been many things over the centuries. But, long ago, it was a brothel, casino, and town saloon. The Black Monarch seems to stand alone in this small former mining town that’s not quite yet a ghost town, but it only has 449 or so residents currently. But back to the likely super haunted Airbnb—with its meticulously maintained interior, creepy vibes, and disembodied sounds that tend to wake guests in the middle of the night, this stay is pretty much any Halloween lover’s dream.

1/10 Hidden Manor
This stately mansion in Maryland looks like the backdrop of any good horror story or murder mystery. Built in 1852, this is yet another sinister-looking abode that is brimming with history—one of the oldest tree’s in the state is even on the grounds. So visitors shouldn’t be too alarmed if they happen to see a few spirits roaming about. Here, guests can enjoy the area’s rich history, stunning antique furnishings, possible ghost sightings, and convenient access to Washington, DC
