The Boo Gimmick - Haunted Hotels, anyone?

Boo.com has just announced a top 5 list of 'haunted hotels' ...the press release reads:

Does your hotel reservation include a full moon, wandering apparitions, forbidden guest rooms and mysterious disappearances? If so, you may be staying in a haunted hotel. If not, you may be missing out! Find out which hotels around the world have skeletons in the closet with boo.com’s recommendations for the top five mysterious hotels with a past. You may want to keep on the light, if you stay the night!

This is followed by a list of hotels:
- Boston Omni Parker Hotel, Boston, USA
- Ocean Edge Resort, Brewster, USA
- Georgian House Hotel, London, England
- Hotel Scandinavia, Venice, Italy
- Relais dell'Ussero, Pisa, Italy

Not that boo.com has to do with selling or featuring scary hotels, of course... i't's a clever gimmick that's bound to get quite a few eyeballs and visits to the site, which is basically a mash-up of traditional hotel reservations and user generated content :)
