Haunted Bed & Breakfast Locations

By Patti Rob

There are many things that guests are searching for the various bed & breakfast locations out there. One of them is that they are haunted which can often ensure the rooms are always full. No everyone out there believes in ghosts but staying in one of these locations where there are substantial claims about ghostly encounters can be very exciting to some individuals.

There are many of them around that you can take a look at. Some of them have historical events behind them while others are due to events that took place at what once was a regular home or just another bed & breakfast on the map. Some of these locations are really getting a great deal of attention though.

Most of us are curious by nature and we can't help but want to know what is keeping others entertained. That is a great deal of the attraction with these haunted bed & breakfast locations. We may simply want to experience something out of the ordinary that we can share with others as well. It is always more fun to be the one telling the story than the one listening to it.

There is the chance though that advertising your bed & breakfast as one that is haunted is going to keep some people away. Not everyone believes in such encounters or wants to be a part of them. They may 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 online 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 is also known to mess with light switches and even to turn on water in the showers from time to time.

In New Hampshire plenty of guests stay at the Notchland Inn. Many have reported waking up to the bathroom being steamy as if the shower had been on. There are often messages written on the mirrors in the steam as well. Sometimes they are written with lipstick. Items are also known to be moved or even added to the room that weren't there before.

Searching for haunted bed & breakfast locations can be fun. It can be quite exciting to stay at some of them. You may 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.
