The title of one home page is "The Haunted Stone Lion Inn." While the section of the website that is supposed to tell the ghost legends is not working, they do list a number of books which tell the stories. They also have a link to the TAPS website, as the inn was featured on Ghost Hunters in 2006.

The website does not mention ghosts, but according to Allstays.com, during a fairly recent remodel, ghostly activity really exploded. It has calmed down now, it seems, but still, you may catch a glimpse of something. If you do, be cautious in your questioning.

The website has a link to the trailer for a film made about its haunting. There are alleged to be at least 15 ghosts. The hotel sells ghost mugs on their website and hosts a ghost tour, so it is obviously very ghost-friendly.

Although the hyperlink I've provided does show a website link, the link does not go to anything other than a generic web directory. So I assume there is no website at present, but you can find pictures and descriptions here. There is no mention of the ghost, but according to the Internet it is haunted by the ghost of Charles Fletcher, who turned the property from a farmhouse to a manor. The haunting incidents began in 1965 as a result of renovation work and have been mostly experienced by workers and artisans.
There is a "gentleman ghost" who may be a young gentleman college student who killed himself by jumping off the roof in the early 1900's. There is also a headless torso who is probably a Civil War victim, and who is harmless though not pleasant to see, of course. There are many fascinating stories on the website if you follow the link for "ghost sightings."

As a huge fan of the television series, "Deadwood," I am pleased to learn that Seth Bullock still looks out for his hotel, and his ghost gets a fond mention on the Bullock Hotel page.

The Sheraton Read House does not mention ghosts on its website, but it does have a banner ad on the Hotel Travel Check.com website page that tells its ghostly history. Despite the fact that the hotel burned down and was rebuilt in 1867, a Civil War era ghost has returned and remained in the same room, room 311. The story goes that a Union soldier murdered a prostitute in that room. It is generally not rented out except by request unless no other rooms are available. Over 150 years, many visitors have heard strange noises and seen strange sights in room 311, and many who came looking for the ghosts were too afraid to stay the entire night.

The link I have provided is to TripAdvisor, as the hotel does not appear to have a website. Naturally, TripAdvisor does not mention the ghost. However, according to the Internet, the spirit of a woman who stayed in the hotel for an extended time during World War II still haunts room 1102, even though she did not die there. She received word while there that her soldier son had died, and perhaps while her body left the hotel, her spirit just stayed from then until now. At any rate, the front desk gets calls from that room even when no one is staying there, and the phone line inexplicably goes dead in that room. Or so the story goes.

Boots Berry, the ghost at the Green Mountain Inn, was a tap dancer and a local hero. He was born at the inn in 1840, the son of a maid and the inn's horseman. When he grew up, he became the horseman himself. He became a hero for stopping a runaway coach singlehandedly. But he fell victim to drink, and drifted away to New Orleans, where he learned to tap dance. Eventually, he drifted back to Vermont and the inn in 1902. About that same time, a terrible storm hit town and a young girl somehow became stranded on the inn roof. Boots managed to climb to the roof and rescue the girl, lowering her safely to the ground. But then he slipped and fell to his own icy death. Just before he fell, the spot on the roof where he was standing was just over 302, the room where he had been born 62 years before. Now, guests often hear tap dancing from the third floor of the Inn, especially during stormy weather.

The website does not mention the ghosts, but there are many reports of guests and employees seeing images of Civil War soldiers in the lobby. Like many large buildings in the South, the inn was used as a hospital. The area was occupied by both the South and the North, and saw much suffering and death from both sides. The soldiers are seen in both blue and gray uniforms, footsteps and voices are heard.

This fascinating place, where "Rose Red" was filmed, has a link to a page entitled "Haunted Castle." According to that page, the castle has only benevolent, helpful ghosts, although some guests have felt that the castle is a "vortex" from which spirits can enter the world. Many guests have claimed to have been visited by deceased relatives. There are links to photos taken by guests, as well. Most of thems are just orbs or lights, but there is one rather interesting one that appears to show a blurry figure where no figure should have been.
This bed and breakfast does require that guests who want to experience the ghosts be at least overnight guests, unless taking part in a sanctioned tour.

Washington hotels no doubt find it undignified to discuss their ghosts. However, the Renaissance Mayflower hotel appears to be haunted by spirits somehow tied to Calvin Coolidge's inauguration ball in 1923. Coolidge did not attend his inauguration ball because he was in mourning for his 16 year old son. Every year since 1937, on January 20th, which is Inauguration Day, the lights in the grand ballroom flicker around 10 PM, which was the time that the inauguration ball began. In addition, staff members often find a dish of food and a glass of wine on the grand balcony when there has been no food served for any function there that day. And one elevator always refuses to move on that day from the 8th floor to the lobby until 10:15 PM. It's not clear what the significance of 1937 is; Coolidge died in 1933.

The Blennerhasset Hotel does not advertise its ghostly history, but stories are widely circulated that it is haunted by its former owner. His presence is generally indicated by the strong smell of cigar smoke wafting through the halls of the hotel.
Because the Karsten Inn URL now goes to a company that has nothing to do with the Inn, I have linked to a very informative article about the inn instead. The inn did brag about its ghost, when it had a website. It appears to be haunted by the former owner, William Karsten, Sr., his son, Billy Karsten, and the housekeeper, Agatha.

This hotel, built by Buffalo Bill Cody, does not mention its ghost, but it is mentioned on the official Wyoming tourism site, and that is good enough for me.
