There are lots of haunted places in Latin America. They are plenty that tourists flock to the sites even if they can be really scary.

Most of the locations have abandoned structures on them -- from churches, to houses and hotels. Once, these buildings were grand but have lost their glory and have turned to hair-raising spectacles after terrible incidents like murders, enslavement and mysterious occurrence. For some real scare visit these hotels that are famous for their spooky stories.

1.Colombia: Hotel del Salto and Salto del Tequendama Falls

This is one of the major tourist spots in Colombia. It is located in southwest of Bogotá and thousands of visitors drop by to admire the 157 meter waterfall near the Hotel del Salto which has long been abandoned.

The hotel which stands on the edge of a cliff was built in 1923. It was shut down in early 90s and was left to rot. It is widely believed to be haunted as many people commit suicide within its vicinity.

According to the legend, a number of Muisca, the Chibcha-speaking people that made up the Muiscan Confederation of the central highlands in Colombia, have jumped from the hotel down to the waterfalls to avoid being captured by the Spanish conquistadores.

When it closed, it has become the site of many tragic suicides so it is believed that their ghosts are roaming the hotel. On the brighter side, the building has been re-opened recently and turned into a museum called Tequendama Falls Museum Biodiversity and Culture.

2. Argentina: Eden Hotel

In the early 20th century, the Eden Hotel in Cordoba, Argentia was frequented by the rich and famous guests. It was said that it boasts of well-known personalities including scientist Albert Einstein, the Prince of Wales and many Argentine presidents.

Roberto Balkhe, a German hotelier, built this hotel on a vast land with great scenery. The building was completed in four years and was opened to the public in 1899.

However, the Eichorn family, who is an ardent supporter of Hitler, took over the hotel and made it into a Nazi den. During the World War II, Walter and Ida Eichorn along with their supporters held secret meetings and even fitted the hotel's roof with radio antenna for Hitler's live speeches to be transmitted to Germany.

When Argentina waged war on the Germans, the government closed the Eden Hotel and confiscated the property. In the years that it was abandoned, it exuded the aura of being haunted.

Ghost sightings in the hotel include the apparitions of a little girl, presumably Eichorn's daughter, babies, servers and others who died inside. The ghosts whisper, slam the doors and let out random noises.

3. San Antonio, Texas: Emily Morgan Hotel

This was originally built as a medical facility in 1924. It holds 12 floors and 14 surgical rooms. It stood at a place that has long history of bloody battles so it is a favorite for ghost hunters. USA Today listed the Emily Morgan Hotel as the third most haunted in the world.

It was said the hotel guests often spot a woman in white dress roaming the halls and 12 floors. Mysterious phone calls are also made in the middle of the night but the caller does not answer. Also, the hotel is near the historic Alamo gravesite making it a really haunted location.
