SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) -- Historic Hotels of America, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, recently released its 2024 Most Haunted Hotels of America list and one San Diego-area establishment was named. Can you guess which spot? "For some historic hotels, the past is not only present in their historic architecture and authentic character, but also—according to legends—in the ghostly spirits attracted to the historic hotel," a spokesperson for the program noted in a press release revealing the list. According to Historic Hotels of America, the places listed are where "generations of staff and guests pass along the tales of spectral Revolutionary War soldiers, the smoky silhouettes of U.S. presidents, the melancholy spirits of tragic would-be brides, unexplained footsteps, as well as friendly phantom bellhops and engineers." This San Diego road is considered to be among the ‘most haunted’ in US Locally, Hotel del Coronado is considered among the most haunted in the country. According to medium James Van Praagh, “besides being gorgeous and completely unique, [it's] extremely haunted.” Van Praagh held a séance, or a meeting at which people attempt to make contact with the dead, at Hotel del Coronado back in 2018. He said he was especially impressed by the "paranormal activity" he perceived in the lobby of the grand resort hotel. Hotel Del Coronado aerial.

Pots and pans rattle in the kitchen, and objects move in the historic gift shop." Time-lapse video shows ‘pillars of light dancing in the sky’ The most widely known ghost at the hotel is a woman named Kate Morgan, who reportedly died at the hotel in 1892 and is rumored to have never left. The hotel says her room -- Room 3327 --is the most requested at the resort. Another supposedly haunted room -- Room 3519 -- was assessed by parapsychologist and investigator of paranormal phenomena, Christopher Chacon back in 1992. He reportedly spent 12 months documenting hundreds of instances of "anomalous phenomena" in that room. Two other California hotels also made the list: Claremont Club & Spa in Berkeley and Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa in Sonoma. The full list can be found here. "For believers and skeptics alike, these hotels offer legends of guests who never want to leave and staff who never stop helping," the spokesperson noted.
