Show #664 - Haunted Hotels

Hosted as always by Gary with Neil, this week’s Halloween-themed episode dived into historic, open-for-guests accommodations around the globe that doubled as legendary haunted hot spots. Listeners were taken on a spine-chilling tour of properties like Colorado's Stanley Hotel—whose eerie corridors inspired Stephen King's The Shining—and London’s Langham Hotel, famous for the phantom-filled Room 333.

The journey continued through America's most haunted Crescent Hotel in Arkansas, the Fairmont Banff Springs and its faithful former bellman spirit, the historic Driskill Hotel in Austin, and New Orleans' Hotel Monteleone.

Across the Atlantic and Pacific, the show explored Ballygally Castle in Northern Ireland, Scotland's 13th-century Dalhousie Castle, London's Savoy Hotel and its famous black cat superstition, and finally concluded down under at Sydney's atmospheric Russell Hotel.

Blending rich local histories with captivating paranormal legends, it offered travelers an unforgettable look at where luxury met the supernatural.
