The Mount Washington Hotel is located Bretton Woods ski area in New Hampshire. The elegant structure was built in 1902 by industrialist Joseph Stickney.
Joseph’s wife Carolyn Stickney is said to haunt the tower suites. She reportedly writes on the walls and turns lights on and off at random times. Often guests report hearing mysterious sounds of babies crying. And a malevolent woman is said to haunt room 206.
In the summer of 2008 there is an event at the Mount Washington Hotel brought by Beyond Reality Radio.

Located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Mount Washington Hotel is one of the last "Grand Hotels" left in the country. As its name suggests, Mount Washington is its backdrop. A grand masterpiece of Spanish Renaissance architecture, The Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire's White Mountains, was a two-year labor of love for 250 master craftsmen. Conceived by industrialist Joseph Stickney, this National Historic Landmark opened in 1902 and immediately became a favorite summer haunt for poets, presidents and princes. |

If you are going to be spending time on the seacoast in Rye, New Hampshire you might want to stay at the Arbor Inn. Not only will you get a great breakfast with award winning pancakes, you might also run into a ghost or two.
The Eagle Tribune has written an article about the Arbor Inn:
When guests arrive, they receive a key to their room and a map of Rye, along with restaurant suggestions and directions to attractions. But one thing they won’t get is the inn’s history of hauntings.
“We do have spiritual issues going on here,” Nichols says. Although the majority of guests never experience anything supernatural during their stays, Nichols says some have reported hearing strange noises, lights being turned on and off, misplaced objects and even being called by name. Nichols and her family have also experienced those same ghostly happenings.
“Sometimes guests will come downstairs in the morning and say, ‘Did you know you have ghosts here?’ ” Nichols said.
The next time we are in the area we will stay there. If you happen to stay at the Arbor Inn, let us know what you think!

“We were both there watching TV and he had one hand on me and the other hand on his pillow, and I felt three taps on my shoulder and I looked at him and said, ‘What?’ And I said, ‘You just tapped me on the shoulder,’ and he said, ‘I didn’t tap you on the shoulder,’” Taylor remembered. “I think it was a ghost.”
So if a haunted valentine sounds interesting and you are in Florida, head on over to the Casa de la Paz Bed and Breakfast.

“Ghost Hunters International” visits Nanteos Mansion and the Abbey of Lucedio in their second episode of their first season.
The Nanteos Mansion was built in 1738 by William Powell, and it remained the Powell family home for over 200 years, until the 1950s. It’s located just outside Aberystwyth, on Wales’s west coast. It’s gone under several renovations over the years but the kitchen and first floor remain mostly unchanged.
One legend associated with the property is that it once housed the Holy Grail, the chalice that Jesus and his disciples are believed to have drunk from at the Last Supper.
Nanteos Mansion is also seems to be home to a number of ghosts. Elizabeth the wife of William Powell wanders the hallways looking for her lost jewels. A phantom horse and carriage that pulls up to the front entrance in the middle of the night. The ghost of Gruffydd Evan who played for the Powell family in the music room every Christmas for 69 years. His music can be heard in the woods around the house.
Nanteos Mansion is located on our Haunted Places Map.
The Abbey of Lucedio was built in 1123 in Northern Italy. Apparently in 1684 many young girls who lived in the area met the devil. After the devil seduced them he sent them to visit the monks at Lucedio’s Abbey. The girls managed to corrupt the abbey and convert the monks to Satanism. Things went downhill after that.
Abbey of Lucedio is also located on our Haunted Places Map.

NJ.com has written about two haunted eating and drinking establishments that the New Jersey Paranormal Research (NJPR) thinks may be haunted.
One place is Arthur’s Tavern and the other is The Brass Rail.
I haven’t been to either restaurant or even to Hoboken actually. If you are in the area stop by and then tell us what you think. I have gone to haunted restaurants before and heard about stories from workers. Haunted events are rare in the first place so to have something happen while one is dining is well not likely. But working and spending a lot of time in the place one is much more likely to experience some sort of event.

This ghostly bed and breakfast was recently written up in “Michigan’s Most Haunted, A Ghostly Guide to the Great Lakes State” by Sandy Arno Lyons. The Sweet Dreams Inn was one of many places Lyons researched for the book. Lyons describes who she talked with to write her book:
“I enjoyed meeting the people (when I researched for my book),” Lyons said. “I only included stories that were given to me by reasonable, sane and sober people. These were just average, everyday people with stories to tell.”
I wonder what the “unreasonable, insane and drunk people” had to say!

How many travel editors does MSNBC need? Here is an article with 8 more haunted hotels. I haven’t stayed at any of these myself so I can’t vouch for any of the details. If you go let us know how it went!

I expect this time of year to find a few articles like this from from MSNBC and this one from Jaunted.com which are fun to read. Of course much more fun to stay at one of these hotels but no such luck for me this Halloween.
