The Haunted Admiral Fell Inn

Baltimore doesn’t have the best reputation today, but the city once had an even worse reputation. Its proximity to the water lead to seamen and sailors arriving in the city and looking for a place to unwind. The Admiral Fell Inn now consists of several buildings once used by those sailors for gambling, finding women of the night and partaking in other illegal activities. Trip Advisor added the hotel to its list of the top 10 haunted hotels in the nation.

One of the more common stories told about the hotel only dates back to 2003. When the National Weather Service issued a hurricane warning for Baltimore, the owners decided to evacuate the hotel. A few workers remained behind to board the windows and take care of the hotel. A poor exhausted manager sat down to take a short break and felt the floor vibrating beneath him. He then heard loud music blaring from the second floor, footsteps bouncing and moving across the floor and people laughing and singing. When a second worker stopped in, he confirmed that he too heard the noises. It sounded like a large party happening right above them. As quickly as it started, the music and noises stopped.

Some of the noises heard in the hotel might date back to the days when the buildings were more boarding houses than hotels. The rough and tumble sailors staying in the hotel often enjoyed parties filled with alcohol, prostitutes and gambling. Those nefarious men definitely explain why so many guests reported seeing men in dirty white clothing wandering around the hotel buildings.

According to former guests, room 413 is the most haunted room in the hotel. A former guest checked in one night and didn’t come down for several days. By the time the front desk sent workers to the room, the man was long dead. Some claim it was natural causes, but others claim he was a victim of the mobsters littering Baltimore at the time. Housekeepers and maintenance workers feel so uncomfortable in the room that some refuse to even go inside. They feel an eerie cold chill sweep over them, see shadows moving from the corners of their eyes and feel a ghostly presence in the room. Though room 413 might be your best chance to see a ghost, you might experience other strange things at the Admiral Fell Inn.

The Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City

1 Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102, USA

Professional athletes sometimes have encounters with the paranormal. Several NBA players have reported strange happenings when they stay here.

The owner and his family lived in the hotel, and his bad behavior may be responsible for the ghosts that haunt the halls. A maid named Effie is reported to have jumped to her death after having a child by William Skirvin and being locked up in the hotel.

People have heard a child crying when there wasn’t one on the floor. It seems that Effie and her baby may still be at the hotel.

Haunted Elk Forge Bed & Breakfast

807 Elk Mills Rd, Elk Mills, MD 21920, USA

Haunted Elk Forge B&B

Maryland’s haunted bed and breakfast started over 200 years ago as Elk Forge Company. This hard working, 1,000 acre community was home to a forge, saw mill, textile mill, grain mill and many farms. It stayed that way until 1981 when the new owners expanded and renovated the existing buildings and created the bed and breakfast that so many visit today. It is listed as a Historical Valuable Property by the Cecil County Maryland Historic Preservation Commission.

The Miller’s Ghost of Elk Forge

In the 1700s, Elk Forge was a bustling mill community, which made it a great stop for the English Redcoats traveling to Philadelphia. When the British soldiers demanded large amounts of grain from the mill, the miller had no choice but to concede and give them what they wanted. The only problem was, the miller was a Patriot and wasn’t too keen on giving away his product to the enemy. He added small chunks of broken glass to each bag he gave the Redcoats. When the Redcoats figured out what he had done, they returned and immediately hanged the miller on site.

When visiting the Elk Forge you won’t find Redcoats anymore, but you may encounter the miller hanging around. Some say they have seen his apparition around the mill and others have heard his footsteps and even his voice.
