The Ahwahnee Is One of the Most Haunted Places in California

"Set in Yosemite Valley, this historic Ahwahnee Hotel is one of California's most iconic properties; its design inspired elements of The Shining and it is rumored to be haunted by friendly spirits. Visitors can join ghost tours and, especially during the Halloween season, explore nearby Yosemite Cemetery for more spine-tingling history." - Cu Fleshman Cu Fleshman Cu is a freelance writer and editor with more than five years of experience.
