You've heard of haunted houses, but what about actual haunted places in Georgia? As it turns out, Georgia has a "haunted" cottage that you can rent via Airbnb. It's one of the most haunted Airbnb spots in America. Since the spooky season is approaching, you might want to book this spot early, because as I'm looking at the cottage's schedule, it's already starting to book up. I can only guess that fall is the most popular time to book this space, too.

Georgia Has One of the Most Haunted Airbnb Places

Timeout.com has a new feature out about the most haunted Airbnbs in America. "We've scoured Airbnb's most eclectic and eerie listings to find the most haunted Airbnbs in America, from creepy castles to spooky spare bedrooms and mysterious mansions," they explain. "These rental haunted houses feature charming creaking floorboards, whimsical wainscoting, and vintage vibes along with chills, thrills, and frights from spirited ghost hosts that are straight out of the best Halloween movies of all time." I'm not one for truly haunted places, but I know a lot of people love ghost hunting, so if that's you, read on.

Before we get to our state, let's look at the No. 1 most haunted Airbnb in the country. According to Timeout.com, it's The Haunted Brothel in Victor, Colorado. As the story goes, following a fire in 1899, which destroyed this brothel, casino and saloon, "the space was rebuilt and meticulously restored, bringing spirited supernatural stories," according to Timeout.com. So, who's the ghost who occupies this spot? It's not a bar regular. It's a "former miner who died in a gunfight." They also state that some of the taxidermy and art that decorates the place is really creepy, which adds a nice, spooky touch. They say this spot is affordable if you stay with a large group. I honestly wouldn't want to stay at any of these places alone, so I say, the more, the merrier.

So, which Georgia Airbnb is one of the most haunted Airbnb spots in America? It's "Laura's Cottage" in Savannah's Landmark Historic District. Laura is actually the name of a ghost who haunts this space, which was built in 1799. "Not much is known about the apparition, but it's said that she once lived in the cottage and could often be seen tending the garden," Timeout.com explains. "Reports of paranormal activity include windows opening (on their own!) and lights mysteriously turning off and on, so don’t bank on getting much rest." One reviewer commented, "Laura's Cottage was perfect for our long weekend stay. We did not need to drive anywhere as the location was within walking distance to all attractions." What's even better is that they say this spot is totally affordable when you have four guests.
