If you've ever experienced a getaway so good that you never wanted it to end, you might empathize with the ghostly guests who checked in to -- but never left -- these spooky spots. Each touts twisted tales and sordid stories that have lingered through the ages. If you ain't afraid of no ghost, sign up for a stay and keep a watch for things that go bump in the night.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas
This 19th-century historic hotel, tucked high in the Ozark Mountains, wasn’t always an idyllic retreat. In the 1930s, it served as an experimental cancer hospital, helmed by an unscrupulous and unlicensed “physician” who swindled unsuspecting cancer patients out of their money and sometimes their lives. Apparitions of “Dr. Baker,” a gurney-pushing nurse and a long-suffering cancer patient have been reported, while the dodgy doctor’s old on-site morgue, complete with autopsy table and walk-in freezer (once used to store cadavers), remains intact.
