Haunted Hotels

Lynton Viñas, author of Grand Hotels: Reflections on Timeless Architectural Treasures has moved beyond the visual realm to the realm of the supernatural as she explores some of the world's most haunted hotels. Journey with her into the stark, dark, dank room where the infamous Night Stalker spent time plotting his heinous crimes and walk the hallways where the real Shining occurred. Gaze into the elevator where a young Canadian girl was caught on camera apparently conversing with a malevolent entity. Stand at the foot of the stairway where a fiend hurled the body of a five year old who now haunts the hotel where he was murdered. Stroll the beautiful botanical gardens where the ghost of a man who buried treasure on his hotel grounds protects his booty from the living. Check into the hotel where the Black Dahlia spent her last night before being brutally murdered. Visit the bungalow where John Belushi died from a drug overdose and now spends time entertaining guests. Say hello to Marilyn Monroe's ghost as she looks at you from a hotel mirror. These and many other ghost tales will send chills up and down your spine. Lynton Viñas takes the reader on a journey into the macabre, where evil abounds, and maybe just a little good on occasion. She conjures up a bevy of ghosts that dance in the darkness to a tune that will haunt you, and probably make you sleep with the lights on.
