It's a little-known fact that the Bates Motel in Coeur d'Alene is said to have been the inspiration for the setting of Robert Bloch's 1959 horror novel, "Psycho."
Everything from strange splashing sounds coming from bathtubs, empty chairs rocking, manifestations, a restless murder victim, and an alleged former owner who wanders the basement, this south Idaho hotel appears to have some very unsettling energy trapped within its walls.
