The Fascination With Haunted Bed & Breakfast Locations

by Patti Rob

A haunted bed & breakfast can draw big crowds! People love something that is mysterious and out of the ordinary. They don’t want to be put in danger but many of the locations where unexplained activities have taken place are linked to people from the past. It is believed their spirit still resides there and this is a very interesting phenomenon to many.

If you’re interested in such an adventure you’ll find quite a few of these establishments out there. Some of them are at the actual site of events that remain in our history such as the Lizzy Borden Bed & Breakfast. It is said this is the actual home where her family was killed. If that doesn’t appeal to you, what about the spirits of characters that seem to be sticking around?

There are quite a few bed & breakfast locations out there billed as being haunted in some way. Of course you can’t select if yours will be or not. However, if there are unexplained events then you need to keep track of them. You can certainly post this information on the internet as well. It often gets plenty of attention from people seeking out such locations.

There’s the chance though that advertising your bed & breakfast as one that’s haunted is going to keep some people away. Not everyone believes in such encounters or wants to be a part of them. They might avoid staying at your location for that reason. Yet the number of people who are quite impressed by it is far more so you should have a good operation in place.

It can be fun to spend some time on the internet though looking for haunted bed & breakfast locations. You will need to make sure you plan your reservation well in advance though. Most of them fill up regularly so getting a room at the last minute won’t always be possible. You can go to an area specifically to stay at one of them or you can find one that fits into the travel plans you already have.

In Groveland, California the Groveland Bed & Breakfast is believed to have a miner as a ghost there. He died there one night after going to bed tired from a hard day of mining. This ghost is harmless but many guests have reported their items moving from one part of the room to the next. This is especially true of cosmetics that women use while staying there. He’s also known to mess with light switches and even to turn on water in the showers from time to time.

The Notchland Inn located in New Hampshire seems to be the home of some good humored ghosts. Many guests have reported names or words written on the mirrors with either steam from the shower that they didn’t turn on or in lipstick. They’ve also found flowers and other nice items in their rooms without any understanding of how they appeared.

Searching for haunted bed & breakfast locations can be fun. It can be quite exciting to stay at some of them. You might end up being part of experiences that are out of the ordinary. It can also be fun just to say you spent time there even if nothing spectacular happens. It all depends on if you find such locations to be fascinating to you or not.
