Real Haunts

The hotel was built in 1909, and has 27 rooms for guests as well as a pub downstairs. It’s the pub that has a regular spirit who loves to play the old piano in the back room. It’s said that a gold miner named Howard Bok was murdered in one of the rooms of the hotel. The cooks and bartenders report that the best time to hear Bok playing the piano and laughing is around closing time.

Haunted Mount Baker Hotel in Concrete, Wa

The Mount Baker Hotel is part of a ghost walk in Concrete, WA. It was built in 1924 and has been a rooming house as well as a cafe and office building over the years. The upstairs is said to be haunted by a little girl approximately four years old. It’s believed that she died after her mother beat her to death. The girl has red hair. She wears a pink shirt and jean shorts. She’s tried to shove guests down the stairs, but also can be heard yelling about a bad woman.

This inn is located next to the Mt. Rainier National Park. It’s believed that most of the hauntings in the inn are people who have died trying to climb the mountain. Guests have reported furniture being moved and footsteps in the hallways when there was nobody there. Many have reported movement in empty rooms. There’s been reports of people feeling like they’re being watched too. The wind is said to vibrate through the windows, which makes it sound like voices. It makes the location even spookier.

Most bed and breakfasts are built with the original intentions of being an inn for weary travelers, however the Beechwood Inn of Cape Cod, Massachusetts originally was not purposed for this. The Beechwood itself was actually a private home residence between 1853 all the way up to 1980. Once sold, it was fashioned into a bed and breakfast to help capitalize on the frequent tourist and vacation industry that was locally popular. For a place that has been open less than forty years, it already has a haunted reputation.

The Haunted Beechwood Inn

The spirits inside the Beechwood is unconventional in their behavior. Light bulbs unscrew from their sockets, while shower curtain rods have been completely removed while guests are in their rooms with absolutely no noise at all. Guests are also frequently locked out of their own rooms, and sometimes objects in their rooms have mysteriously relocated, requiring a small search to find them.

The owners have affectionately taken to calling her “The Mischievous Lady”, after all of the subtle ghostly behavior she puts herself up too. Her spirit has appeared in locations all over the Beechwood’s property and she is said to give off a peculiar white light whenever she manifests. However, few guests have reported hearing a chirpy, “good morning” said to them out of nowhere with nobody around! The owners chalk it up to the spirit living up to her reputation as a lady and guests leave the Beechwood well rested and supernaturally impressed.

Until 1998, this hotel was like any other. Around Halloween night that year, it’s said that a businessman killed himself on the 15th floor. Some people think that the Halloween party that year woke some spirits from their sleep. Ever since that year, there’s been shadowy sightings of spirits on the 15th floor of the hotel. There have also been unexplained noises on that floor. Nobody has confirmed who or what is haunting one of the top floors of this hotel.

One of Boston’s most haunted locations is the Parker House. If you want to encounter the spooky residents, reserve a room on the third floor. A 19th-century actress, Charlotte Cushman, famous for playing male and female roles including Hamlet and Lady Macbeth, died in one of the third-floor rooms in 1876. Elevators travel to the third floor when no buttons are pushed. Charlotte may be the culprit.

Room 303 had to be closed and renovated for use as a closet after complaints from guests about loud laughter and the odor of whiskey. The room is where a businessman met an untimely end. Harvey Parker, who founded the hotel, died in 1884. Apparently, Mr. Parker is still keeping an eye on his hotel, since he’s surprised some guests in their rooms to inquire about their visit.
