Haunted Hotels of the Midwest



" I think paranormal experiences are very personal, again, if they are that. Yes, sometimes I've felt that some things I would personally believe enough for me to take action on it... like, you know, I felt something happen in a hotel once that made me never stay there again. "
~Andrea Corr



There are many notable haunted hotels of the Midwest. This region of the United States is considered to be both the geographical center and the population center of the country. This region consists of twelve individual states. They are Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Michigan. Since the time period of the 19th century, this region has been identified as the “Middle West” area of the United States. For the past decade, this region has been referred to as the “Midwest” by both the natives, and those that live outside the region.

The Midwest is distinguished by many geographical variants. These include, but are not limited to, flat plains, rolling hills, jagged rocks, prairies, and hardwood forests. In addition to this, there are many notable architectural designs that distinguish this region of the country from other regions. The area is considered to be predominantly Christian as far as religion is concerned. However, up to 29% of all individuals that reside in this area associate themselves with Roman Catholicism. This is immediately followed by a large percentage of Baptists. Given the amount of land and the amount of people that make up this particular region, it is not at all surprising that there are so many haunted tales. There are a wide variety of ghost stories surrounding the haunted hotels of the region.

There are many historical events that are part of the Midwest’s history. These include, but are not limited to: the French and Indian War, The Royal Proclamation of 1763, the influx of settlers after the American Revolutionary War, and even famous pioneers such as Daniel Boone. Spencer Records was another famous pioneer that explored the grand Midwest region of the United States.
