While stores, commercials, singles, and hopeless romantics have their minds (and hearts) on Valentine’s Day, there is a special breed of us who are just looking forward to finding more haunted and downright frightening spots around SoDak… does this sound like you? If it does, skip the fattening chocolate and overpriced flowers by opting for a ghost hunt in this spooky South Dakota hotel:

Located in historic Deadwood is the equally historic Bullock Hotel, which has been dubbed the “Jewel of Downtown Deadwood.”

TripAdvisor/management

Built by Deadwood Sheriff Seth Bollock in the late 1890s, the Bullock is the oldest hotel in town, and houses 63 rooms, a casino, and a restaurant.

While the Bullock may look innocent enough on the outside, legend says that it is anything but, as it is said to be haunted by the deceased founder, who likes to keep tabs on the hotel and its guests.
