Located 18 miles from Mt. Rainier, Mineral Schoolhouse has everything you need for a spooky school stay: long halls, original fixtures and fittings, and, of course, wooden rocking chairs in otherwise empty classrooms. The former elementary school was built in 1910, but it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1947. Described by your host as being gently haunted, previous guests report the sighting of a ghostly girl wandering the halls, stealing keys and startling them with loud noises.

If you want to shake off the heebie-jeebies, escape to nature and go kayaking on the nearby fishing lake or take a drive through Mount Rainier National Park.

Constructed in 1754 by Captain William Grant, Captain Grant’s 1754 Historic Inn in Poquetanuck Village is located in front of the village’s first cemetery. It's also across the road from St. James Cemetery, which is where Captain Grant’s wife, Mercy Adelaide Avery, is buried. To this day, she is said to hang around the inn, waiting for her husband to return home after being lost at sea.

The National Historic Inn’s paranormal reputation doesn't detract from it being a great holiday destination for you and your hound. Share breakfast on the porch together, hang out in the pristine 4-acre garden, then warm Fido’s paws in one of the five bedrooms with a fireplace.

Two years after Shamrock House was built in the woods of South Carolina in 1925, tragedy struck. Party guest Nancy took an overdose of pills in an upstairs bedroom after being informed that her preacher father was coming to take her home. Nancy is said to still walk the halls, with guests reporting cold spots in the house, even on hot summer days, and unexplained footsteps pacing back and forth.

Leave Nancy on her own for a while and explore the town of Sunset with Fido. Raven Rock Loops Trail is just over four miles and leads to stunning views over Lake Keowee.

Restored to its former glory after years of disrepair, Fleur De Lis Mansion is one of many haunted houses in New Orleans. After reports of three haunted suites by the new owners, paranormal investigators at Ghost City Tours concluded that the spirit of a man called Billy is a permanent resident of the house. He’s known to be more mischievous than terrifying, playing pranks on guests like moving chairs and tugging on sheets. You can find out more about Billy and other NOLA ghosts on one of Ghost City Tours' pet-friendly guided walks.

The home is just a few blocks from the French Quarter and is perfect for large parties or groups. Everyone can venture out together in the property’s private party bus, or if you’re brave enough to be alone, stay back and relax in the year-round heated pool or hot tub.

Built in 1731, the New Boston Inn has a long and storied history. Preserved on the National Registry of Historic Places, the building and grounds were used as a training facility during the Revolutionary War, but it’s the untimely murder of a young woman named Harriet that gives the inn a reputation among paranormal investigators. Denied her true love’s hand in marriage by her parents in 1805, she went on to marry a more suitable partner (in their eyes). Her former lover didn’t take kindly to this and shot her in her room after they said “I do.” It is said that she still wanders the halls and can be heard singing in the music hall from time to time.

If Harriet isn’t disturbing your stay, gather with Fido around the wood-burning stove in the gentlemen’s parlor or relax together to the sounds of the frog pond in the outdoor gardens.

Bring Fido to The Black Monarch, a haunted boutique rental that was once a brothel in the Rocky Mountain gold rush town of Victor, CO. Local legend states that the building is haunted by the ghost of a miner who died in a gunfight. If that isn’t intriguing enough, knowing the home was originally wired by electrical genius Nikola Tesla might spark your interest. Skeptics may not believe all the home’s scary stories, but they’ll love the Victorian Gothic architecture and other oddities here.

Learn more interesting facts when you and your pup hop on board the open-air Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad and hear stories of gold mining.

Relax in Southern comfort at The Federal Quarters, a historic residence constructed in 1801 in St. Mary’s. Its claim to fame is that Vice President Aaron Burr hid from the authorities here after dueling with Alexander Hamilton in 1804. You can stay at this lovely pet-friendly rental that’s filled with period antiques (and possibly ghosts!) and drive around town in a Model A Ford with Fido riding in someone’s lap in the rumble seat. Or he can join you on a tour of the historic district in the house golf cart.

St. Mary’s isn’t all ghosts and ghouls. Visit nearby Crooked River State Park and explore the intracoastal waterways and maritime forest with Fido.

The Historic Morgue in Ozark provides a Spirit Box, EMF detector, dowsing rods and more for you and your “paw-ranormal” investigator to hunt for ghosts during your stay. Formerly a morgue, funeral home, church and museum, this spooky spot isn’t suitable for faint-hearted furry friends. Inside the spine-chilling space, there’s a large kitchen and a bathroom with a 1900s clawfoot tub where you can soak alone, away from the spirits.

If you make it through the night unscathed, your pup can play off leash in the fenced backyard while you relax on the private patio.
