Today we dive into the history of National Parks and how America's best idea almost died. Instead of talking about their landscapes, we take a deep dive into the history of their beautiful historic hotels and the ghostly encounters people have experienced there. From Tennessee to Washington, and everywhere in-between, there are plenty tales to tell.
