Haunted Hotels pg 2.

 

Louisiana

1891 Castle Inn

1539 4th Street
New Orleans, LA
(888) 826-0540

Only available for long stays, but proud of the ghosts and worth visiting. The staff has repeatedly seen

a male figure standing by the window in Room 11. Objects move by themselves, lights turn on and off, etc.

Whistling and singing are heard in the halls. The owners have gathered what they believe to be true information

 about their ghosts and comments from their guestbook on the website.

Hotel Monteleone

214 Royal Street
New Orleans, LA
(504) 523-3341

Has a whole section under "press" on hauntings. There is a locked door in the restaurant that opens by itself almost daily. Shadowy children are seen in the halls. Paranormal investigators have identified about a dozen ghosts, allegedly.

 

Myrtles Plantation

7747 U.S. Highway 61
St. Francisville, LA
(225) 635-6277

Yes, you can stay at one of the most haunted locations in America! The website proudly retells the story of Chloe,who poisoned her plantation-owner lovers' wife and children and was hanged for her crime by her fellow servants. There are pictures from sightings on the website, as well as this famous picture showing a figure beside the house:

 

Massachusetts

Concord's Colonial Inn

48 Monument Square #3
Concord, MA
(978) 369-9200

In "About the Inn," the nameless ghost who inhabits Room 24 is acknowledged. Room 24 was part of the original house, built in 1716 by Captain John Minot. Since then, paranormal researchers have found evidence of possible hauntings in other parts of the inn.

Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast

92 Second St
Fall River, MA
(508) 675-7333

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to stay here, but you can. Even the pictures of the rooms make me feel ill. Still, the website has a link to a fascinating account by medium and paranormal investigator Rebecca Shott Muller of her experiences in the house. They did not contact Lizzie, but did allegedly see Mr. and Mrs. Borden, the maid, a ghost cat, and other ghostly entities. There are pictures here, as well, which also make me feel very uneasy.

 Michigan

The Holly Hotel

Sort of a cheat, since it's no longer a hotel, but a restaurant. Still, it's proud of its ghosts and worth a visit. The hotel was the site of two tragic fires, one in 1913 and one exactly 65 years later in 1978. It is considered to be the most haunted building in Michigan and is another candidate for most haunted in America. The recounting of some of the ghostly history at the website is really fascinating. There are a number of ghosts. Visitors often smell cigar smoke and flowery perfume, hear disembodied voices, and encounter ghostly figures.

Says it is haunted right on the home page. It is haunted by the original owner, Augustus Thayer, who often leaves pennies for guests to find. His wife, Caroline, also haunts the B&B. The website claims that her portrait changes expression when she is happy with what is going on in the house!  There are assorted other alleged ghosts in the house, including several ghost cats!

According to the history at the website, a former owner of the house, Albert Carmean, haunts it. He died in 1933 and the funeral was held in the house. In the fall, people often report smelling cigar smoke, and he did smoke cigars.

Montana

While the Harlowton Hotel in Harlowton, Montana, is mentioned numerous places, it does not seem to have a websie. However, it is alleged to be haunted by the ghost of an old white-haired man who used to own the place.

Nevada

Only one famous hotel that is known to be haunted in Nevada so far, and it is in a ghost town and not open to the

you may see something like this:

A link to the story of the happy ghost, Emily, is under the history section of the website.

While they do not mention their ghost on the website, there are many reports on the web and in print of a pink lady who has been seen there for over 70 years. The lady fell to her death in 1920 at the Palm Court Atrium. She often manifests at what appears to be dense pink smoke and she is felt to be very gentle. Use caution in inquiring.

While they do not mention ghosts, a local ghost hunting group states that the hotel is haunted by a child. They do mention lore and legend, so would probably be open to ghost enthusiasts.
