Are there any haunted hotels in Idaho?
There are tons of haunted hotels in Idaho that you can sleep (or stay up all night) at. You can stay at the always creepy White Horse Saloon. This space is one of the oldest of its kind in Idaho and it's rumored that the same ghost has been haunting its halls since the 20s! For a slightly more upscale but still haunting stay, you can spend the night at Enders Inn. Originally built in 1917, these gorgeous accommodations boast tales of many spirits including previous guests and past employees of the hotel. Or maybe stay at the Gooding University Inn, styled to look like the school it once was. The space was also a tuberculosis hospital, so you may see the spirits of past patients or students, depending on who is feeling active.
Does Idaho have any haunted cemeteries?
If you want to visit a haunted cemetery in Idaho, we recommend the incredibly frightening Ammon cemetery. Built in 1912 for the residents of Ammon, this cemetery has seen over 100 years of Idaho history and is made all the scarier because of it! This spot is a great place to come a little before nightfall, standing high on a hill, you get a great view of the town below. As night falls, chills will start to creep up your spine. The old graves and ancient feeling the place imparts are enough to scare the pants off of you once it gets dark, but add on top of that the many reported sightings of a child ghost and it's hard not to feel terrified!
