Rough Riders Hotel

Medora, ND   /   0 Reviews

The original name of the Rough Riders Hotel was The Metropolitan. People expected the town to grow into a large city, which never happened. The hotel was renamed in honor of Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War. Through the years the hotel has been owned by different people and undergone renovations, which usually awakens the spirits.

It’s believed that a little boy haunts one of the guest rooms at the top of the hotel. The laughter of a child is often heard in the room when no one is there. Guests have reported toilets flushing by themselves. It seems that some of the spirits enjoy playing pranks on visitors.

Danvers State Hospital

1101 Kirkbride Dr, Danvers, MA 01923, USA

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, mental health was broadly defined. Health conditions and mental capacities simply had yet to be discovered by medical science and as a result, thousands of people were not handled with enough care and concern. While highly debatable, their life-care was turned over by their families to the aid afforded by the state and they were placed into asylums. One such place that is registered to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places is the Danvers State Hospital. Read more…
