Halloween is just around the corner, which means it’s time to round up the USA’s scariest, spookiest, ookiest hotels.

Peter took to the Today show to tell Amy Robach about some of the country’s most haunted hotels.

The list covers some of America’s most historic hotels, as well as some newly-reopened gems.

As an added bonus, many of these hotels are affordable and close to home, making them an option for a short trip.

In these shaky economic times, you won’t have to say boo-bye to your vacation.
