Yeah, it was so fun about just some 14 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:04.200 fun places you can visit along America. But this one 15 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.840 is just some hotels you can put on your radar 16 00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.599 as you're traveling on the Paranormal road Trip. 17 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.480 Well you can, and I'm kind of all over the country. 18 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.959 I tried to get various areas in the country, and 19 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.560 of course some places that are particularly near and dear 20 00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.959 to our hearts as well. So come with us here 21 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:24.840 as we go on a road trip to some of 22 00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.200 the most elegant places and some of the most haunted 23 00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.640 places in the country, and I want to start at 24 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.319 the Grove Park Inn in Actuville, North Carolina, for a 25 00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.200 couple of reasons. One, as you all surely know from 26 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.400 listening to any news, you know how devastated the western 27 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:47.480 part of North Carolina was my Hurricane Helene. And I 28 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.359 have not heard any bad things about the Grove Park 29 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:52.680 in I do know that they're planning to reopen the 30 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.239 Biltmore House before Christmas. So, and I've spent some time 31 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.439 at the Grove Park and I know you have too, 32 00:01:58.439 --> 00:01:59.239 Samantha's that not. 33 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.959 I've been there several times. It's my favorite hotel. You 34 00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.480 can have dinner overlooking the mountains. They have a underground spat. 35 00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.639 They have these little like walking trails, and if you 36 00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.759 go on one of the walking trails, they have these 37 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.719 hidden gems like they're like the last time I was there, 38 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.479 there was a little bar, just a stone cottage. They 39 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.520 turned into a little bar on this walking trail. It's like, 40 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.240 how lovely, let's go for a hike and have some wine. 41 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:30.400 I think that's a great plan. I I love the lobby. 42 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.479 You could stand inside the fireplace in the lobby. I 43 00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.840 had drinks and or derbs in the lobby, and the 44 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:39.400 year that my Grief book came out, a friend of 45 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.560 mine was the head waiter in the fanciest of the 46 00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:47.800 restaurants there, and he bought the wine for my party 47 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:50.400 of folks that were there for dinner that night. It 48 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.599 was one of the most elegant meals I've ever had. 49 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.719 It was absolutely a lovely, lovely experience to eat in 50 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.080 that restaurant as well. And in the fall, right before Christmas, 51 00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.719 they do a ginger red house exhibit. It is just breathtaking, 52 00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:04.439 it really is. 53 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.240 You can always see the Grove Park Gingerbread House. They 54 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:11.280 keep that on exhibit. And if you stay in the hotel, 55 00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.199 you go into the elevator, which is literally built into 56 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.360 the stone hearth of the fireplace that Dev's talking about. 57 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:23.000 It's like behind there, and there's an elevator operator. So 58 00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.639 you go in there and there's this lovely man and 59 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.120 he says what floor, and he winds the door closed 60 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.120 and you go up. So it really is like stepping 61 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:32.800 back in time. 62 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.240 It really is. But we digress. This is not what 63 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.840 we came to talk about. Here's what we came to 64 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.840 talk about. This inn opened in nineteen thirteen. It was 65 00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.360 built by a man whose name is was Edwin Wiley 66 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.599 Grove who made his fortune selling Groves Faceless Chill tonic, 67 00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.280 which was a tonic for malaria, and it sold really 68 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.800 well in the same because it contained quinine, which is 69 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.120 one of the things that helps with malaria, and certainly 70 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.759 malaria was rampant in the South at this time. This 71 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.360 nineteen thirteen era was what was known as the age 72 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:17.319 of the robber Barons. These were extraordinarily wealthy people who 73 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:22.560 spent lavish and huge sums of money building amazing structures 74 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.639 and edifices, one of which was the Grove Park in 75 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.879 Grove came to Ashville on his doctor's advice. He was 76 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.560 told that being in Ashvill and in the mountain air 77 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.160 would be really good for his health, and of course 78 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.560 he began to see that there was a big tourist 79 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.800 business in the area. So he and his friend and 80 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.360 son in law, whose name was Thomas Seeley, soon began 81 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:49.000 construction on the Grove Park Inn. It has remained in 82 00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:54.279 continuous operations since then and many famous people, including Samantha Fay, 83 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.839 have stayed there. But in addition to that, George Grit, 84 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:03.240 Harry Houdini, Fitzgerald and President Obama to name a few, 85 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.839 and because of the era in which this inn was built, 86 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.000 folks didn't just come and stay overnight back in those days. 87 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.040 They came for extended stays like the summer, and according 88 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.000 to legend, one of those guests from a long time 89 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.800 ago still walks the halls for one hundred years. Many 90 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.160 guests say that they have seen the Pink Lady of 91 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:31.240 Grove Park Inn. Some believe her to be the ghost 92 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.000 of a young woman who fell for her death from 93 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.360 a balcony on the fifth floor in the nineteen twenties. 94 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:39.720 She's usually seen in the form of kind of a 95 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:45.279 pink mist or sometimes as a full fledged apparition wearing 96 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.720 a pink ball gown. No one seems to know who 97 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.839 she is or her name. No one is sure why 98 00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.319 she was at the inn in the first place. One 99 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.639 legend says that she was there for a clandestine rendezvous 100 00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.720 with her married lover, and that she leapt from the 101 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.399 balcony when he told her the affair was over. Another 102 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:09.240 legend says that she was a debutante and fell accidentally. 103 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.120 It's said that she really enjoys the company of children 104 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.279 over that of adults, and children often report seeing her. 105 00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:19.079 If they're taken ill, she comes and comforts them or 106 00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.639 place with them in the hallway. Folks who work at 107 00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.759 the end say she is responsible for electrical devices such 108 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.959 as lights and air conditioning turning off and on by itself. 109 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.199 She arranges objects differently in rooms and is said to 110 00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.079 tickle the feet of sleeping guests at really a little disconcerting. 111 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.319 She haunts the halls and rooms of the entire hotel, 112 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.600 but her favorite room is five point forty five. Legend 113 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.720 says it was from this room's balcony that she met 114 00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:57.160 her demise. Now, Samantha, would you like to go back 115 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:02.000 to the Growth Park Inn and stay in room four forty. 116 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.160 Well, I stayed in the room right across from five 117 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:08.120 forty five, and there's a little plaque that says, you know, 118 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.319 this is the Pink Lady's room, right And I walked 119 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.079 past that room every day, like on my way to 120 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.000 the elevator, and I did not feel her. But I 121 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.839 was sitting in you know that outdoor terrace where you 122 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.560 can sit and look up at the hotel. 123 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:24.839 It's gorgeous. 124 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.439 Yes, I was having dinner there one night and I 125 00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.759 just looked up at that fifth floor and I took 126 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.040 a photo and I do have an orb. I'm gonna 127 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.600 have to find that photo and post it on Facebook. 128 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.160 Ooh doo ooh, it's right over that window. But I'll 129 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.399 tell you I never felt it does feel haunted in there, 130 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.240 but I never felt anything negative. 131 00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.360 No, I don't think anybody's ever reported anything negative. Just 132 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.319 that she's there, what she's doing, Tick on your feet. 133 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:57.360 It's a beautiful place to haunt. 134 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.519 It sure is. It's lovely. Let's go to Arkansas. Let's 135 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:06.199 go to the eighteen eighty six Crescent Hotel and Spa 136 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.199 in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Now, I went and did a 137 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.480 lot of research on photographs and so forth of this hotel, 138 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:18.240 and it too is lovely. It has been a lot 139 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.199 of different things over the years. It's been a women's college, 140 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.680 and at some point it was an experimental hospital run 141 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.319 by a Charlatan named Norman Baker who claimed to have 142 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:35.559 a cure for cancer. Many who have experienced ghosts here 143 00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.559 believe that those ghosts are spirits of people who died 144 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.799 in his care. Ghost tours are available for the brave 145 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:46.879 of hearts. You can visit the Hotel Morgue, where people 146 00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.600 have reported being poked by unseen hands, feeling cold spots, 147 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:56.000 and seeing dark figures. On the fourth floor, you can 148 00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:00.919 visit the hotel's archives and if you're brave enough, request 149 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.720 room two eighteen, known as Michael's Room, which is reportedly 150 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.000 the most haunted room in the hotel. 151 00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:11.559 I read that he's a stonemason who oh All to 152 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.519 his death during the construction, and so people have reported 153 00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.600 like a cold breeze, or hearing footsteps, or seeing a 154 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.840 see through ghostly figure of a man in work clothes. 155 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.879 Isn't that interesting? I know you can go in January 156 00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:32.200 when the hotel hosts the Eureka Springs Paranormal Weekend, which 157 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.879 features over night ghost hunts, seminars, and access to most 158 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:41.559 of the properties haunted spaces. Apparently many places on this 159 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:47.000 ground are haunted, probably as a result of that Charlottan 160 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.240 hospital that was there. 161 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:50.919 Could it also be because Arkansas is so famous for 162 00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.519 its courts. I wonder if that amplifies paranormal things, you know, 163 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:56.919 were I would think Limestone doing that. 164 00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.799 Yeah, I would think it would. And of course it'snatural springs. 165 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.639 There many of natural springs all over Arkansas. 166 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.039 Yeah, all right, we're going to go to New Mexico. 167 00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:08.519 But let's take a quick break first and we'll be 168 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:09.279 right back. 169 00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:14.559 This holiday season, down to Earth is offering fifteen percent 170 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:19.639 off to the coupon code fifteen off Holidays.

John P. Slough, 190 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:41.440 a former New Mexico Chief Justice, was shot and killed 191 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.360 in the lobby in eighteen sixty seven and is said 192 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:49.240 to walk the halls at night. Guests report hearing his footsteps. 193 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:52.519 Another ghost is a bride who was murdered on her 194 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.879 wedding night in the bridal suite. Then, of course there's 195 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.799 the businessman who jumped into the hotel well after gambling 196 00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.200 a way all his money. That's a lot of tragedy 197 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.039 in one hotel. 198 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:09.039 Well, it really is, and it's absolutely beautiful. The grounds 199 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.600 are just lovely and there are lots of different buildings 200 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.799 as you mentioned on the grounds, but yeah, there was 201 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:19.240 a lot of stuff that happened there. But down the road, 202 00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:24.720 not very far from Lafonda is Lapasada, and Joel and 203 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.679 I did stay there while we were in Santa Fe 204 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.879 for a few days a few years ago, and it 205 00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:36.679 is just absolutely breathtaking. It too, is absolutely lovely in 206 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:41.240 that Adobe architecture that is just so prevalent there in 207 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:44.919 that beautiful stone is just gorgeous. But one aspect of 208 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:50.279 this story about Lapasada is that it's a fairly news story. 209 00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.919 In nineteen seventy nine, a janitor reported seeing a woman 210 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.360 walking the halls dressed in a black Victorian, her hair 211 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.679 pulled back tightly in a bond, and soon after he 212 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.159 saw her, other staff members started to see her. It 213 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:13.120 is believed that she is Julia Stobb, wife of Abraham Stobb, 214 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.440 who built the original three story mansion that still sits 215 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:21.639 on the property. Julia died in eighteen ninety six at 216 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.799 the age of fifty two. It is said that she 217 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:28.440 loved gardening, and that the fragrance of roses sometimes accompanies 218 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:34.159 her appearance. Others report swaying chandeliers and moving items in 219 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.000 the hotel. A bartender claims that all the glasses on 220 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:43.039 a particular shelf flew off and crashed to the floor. 221 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.519 She might have been one of those folks who didn't 222 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.480 think alcohol was a good idea. The most haunted room 223 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.840 is room two fifty six. Also, and I don't know why, 224 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:55.159 this is called Sweet one hundred, which is where Julia 225 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.799 spent most of her time when she was alive. 226 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.559 They did a whole special on this on Unsolved mysteries, 227 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.840 the older ones with Robert Stock Oh okay, I remember correctly. 228 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:10.480 She had lost at least two children, oh dear, and 229 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.720 I think when the second one transitioned, she never left 230 00:14:14.759 --> 00:14:18.559 that room again. She kind of just, you know, lost 231 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:22.200 her mind and broke her heart and she was kind 232 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.879 of stuck like a ghost for the last several years 233 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.240 of her life. It makes you wonder if someone's mindset 234 00:14:28.279 --> 00:14:31.159 at the time of their death can really affect if 235 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:32.240 they become a ghost or not. 236 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.600 I think that's probably true. Now I have to tell you, 237 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:38.879 like I said, it was absolutely beautiful, and Joel and 238 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:41.639 I were housed in a much more modern section of 239 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:47.639 the hotel and never actually saw this original house, or 240 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.519 if we did, we didn't pay a lot of attention 241 00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.399 because when we were there, it was in June, and 242 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:57.039 it was during Joel's midlife crisis period time in that 243 00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.080 hot transam car and it was blazing my research. 244 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.279 Wait wait, wait, hold on, Jewel had a transam. 245 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:06.759 You don't know that story. 246 00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:08.320 I do not know that story. 247 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.960 I can't wake sure that it was. He didn't have 248 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.799 it very long, but he did have a trans aam 249 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:19.279 and we drove from Denver to Santa Fe in that 250 00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:20.000 trans am. 251 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.240 Actually color was it? Please tell me it wasn't red? 252 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.759 Oh no, it was black. Okay, it was black. A 253 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:29.080 whole other story, whole other story. But my research about 254 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:34.519 Lapisada indicated that only this old building, not the modern buildings, 255 00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.759 are haunted there. I have to come back to the 256 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.519 story about the well, because there is the Red Lion 257 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.039 in in Apesbury is a lovely place, really good food. 258 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:50.480 I had lunch in the restaurant there, and while I 259 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.159 was sitting in the restaurant, I noticed that in the 260 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:57.919 middle of the floor in the restaurant was a well, 261 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.799 and it was covered over with a piece of glass 262 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.480 or plexiglass. And it was such a beautiful building. The 263 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:09.200 restaurant was old, dark wood and very quaint, and the 264 00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:14.360 building itself was that whitewashed stone, and the thatched roof 265 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.200 held down with the ropes and the stones. You know. 266 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.240 But the restaurant is famous on this property for the 267 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.399 ghost of a woman who was murdered by her jealous 268 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:31.519 husband and he threw her down the well. The well 269 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.200 is still there, The woman's body is still in the 270 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:39.440 well down there. I'm sure by now it's not any right, 271 00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:43.159 and it is covered by glass, and it's right there, 272 00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:45.080 just in the middle of the main dining room, and 273 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.320 they built the restaurant around it. 274 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.519 I wonder why they never pulled her up and gave 275 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:50.639 her a proper burial. 276 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.639 I don't know the answer to any of that. 277 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:54.360 Did you feel anything? 278 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:59.240 Only creepy? It was creepy. The food was good, but 279 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:00.120 it was creepy. 280 00:17:01.440 --> 00:17:03.559 That would be so weird to be like eating a burger, 281 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.599 know that there's a murdered woman's body down on the 282 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:08.599 well in the center of the restaurant. 283 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.400 It was pretty creepy. But there we were creepy. O. 284 00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:13.839 They just bomed with things, you know. But take us 285 00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.960 to the Red Lion and in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, which is different. 286 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.799 Stockbridge, Massachusetts is the place I absolutely love. Norman Walkwell 287 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:24.680 lived there. It's just a beautiful, beautiful town to tour. 288 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.079 The Red Lion in in this beautiful historic town traces 289 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.920 its history back to the seventeen hundreds, where it was 290 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.559 a gathering place for revolution is protesting the colony's treatment 291 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.400 by the British Parliament and planning boycotts of British goods. 292 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:43.000 Five US presidents have been guessed here, along with many 293 00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.559 unknown travelers. A young girl is said to wander at 294 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.200 the fourth floor carrying flowers. A man in a top 295 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.680 hat walks those same walls. Room three oh one is 296 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.440 famously haunted. Guests have reported their bedsheets were tugged and 297 00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:00.039 their toes pulled during the night. What is with the 298 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:01.240 feet fetish coast? 299 00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.680 I don't know that they're everywhere. 300 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.240 They're everywhere. Others say they have heard voices and feel 301 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.000 cold spots. I think Stockbridge should be on everyone's list. 302 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.240 It's got one of the best reenactment of colonial villages nearby. 303 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.960 It's there's beautiful hiking trails and if you can stop 304 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:24.000 in at a haunted inn. In addition, why not just 305 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.200 keep your feet covered under the sheets. 306 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:29.880 And remember that this is also the home of the 307 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.640 restaurant that was owned by Alice, who was a friend 308 00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:37.559 of Olive Guthrie's made famous in the song Alice's Restaurant. 309 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.440 Oh cool? 310 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:41.200 You mean you can't recite every single word of that storng? 311 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:42.039 No, I cannot know. 312 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.079 Okay, we'll move on. 313 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:46.599 I'm not the music historian like you are. 314 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.640 Tell us about the Jackal Island Club. 315 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:55.359 Okay, So if you go over to Georgia, you can 316 00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:59.640 visit the Jeckal Island Club Resort and Juckal Island. What 317 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.519 is it about these Gilded age robber baron Erra hotels? 318 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:06.000 They are everywhere. This luxury hotel sits on its own 319 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:09.519 private island and caters even now to the very rich. 320 00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:13.039 Much perormal activity has been reported over the years. 321 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:13.279 Here. 322 00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.039 Visitors sometimes see a bell hop on the second floor 323 00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:21.119 that isn't there, or you might see cigar smoke wafting 324 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.480 through the hallways early in the morning. It's rumored that 325 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.000 this smoke comes from JP Morgan, who was a member 326 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.960 of this club. Unseen people sip coffee from guest cups 327 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.160 and read their newspapers when they leave their rooms. But 328 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.359 that's where I think we should draw the line, because 329 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.759 I know you, for Shore dev You're not going to 330 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:44.279 share your coffee with anyone. Not happening, not even if 331 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:45.400 it is JP Morgan. 332 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.000 JP Morgan buy his own cup of coffee. 333 00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:52.319 That's right here or in the afterlife exactly. 334 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:55.839 So let's go from Georgia to Boston. Oh and I 335 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.039 loved this. This was fun. I did not know anything 336 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:02.079 about all of this. The oldest can tenuously operating hotel 337 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.119 in the US since eighteen fifty five is the what 338 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:09.119 is now called the Omni Parker House was just the 339 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.759 Parker House when it opened. It's close to Boston Commons. 340 00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:18.279 Its original owner, Harvey Parker, has been seen roaming the halls, 341 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:23.720 and famous orbs float along the tenth floor hallway. Guest 342 00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:29.839 here whispers and see shadows. Notably, Charles Dickens resided in 343 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.119 a third floor room for five months, and they say 344 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.960 they often smell cigar smoke in this room. And I 345 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.880 assume that it is from this hotel that we got 346 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.519 the famous Parker House ropes. 347 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.160 Now, I would say New Orleans has to be the 348 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:48.200 most haunted city, but Boston has to be a close second. 349 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.119 Oh you know it. Yeah, absolutely. Ooh. I can't talk 350 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.559 about New Orleans, but we'll get there. 351 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.000 All right, Let's go to Mount Washington. The Mount Washington 352 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.680 Resort was built in nineteen o two by railroad tycoon 353 00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:06.160 Joseph Stickney. It's an elegant hotel in the White Mountains 354 00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.880 of New Hampshire. It's considered one of the most haunted 355 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.519 hotels in all of New England. Called the Princess by 356 00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:17.680 hotel staff, Stickney's wife, Carolyn Foster, Stickney remarried a French 357 00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.240 royal after her husband died. Guests say they see her 358 00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:25.119 wandering the halls dressed in Victorian clothing. If you stay 359 00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:27.640 some night in what had been her third floor suite, 360 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.200 you may see her at the end of your bed 361 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:34.400 brushing her hair. Okay, that's fine. You can sit at 362 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:36.039 the end of my bed and brush your hair. Just 363 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:36.960 don't touch my. 364 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:40.920 Feet exactly, you know. Hello, I mean I'm saying a 365 00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.799 ghost at the end of my bed is not a 366 00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:45.359 bad thing. I mean, I certainly saw my father there, 367 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:50.039 but I don't want you touch in me. You knew, 368 00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:52.599 all right? Take us to New Orleans. 369 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.319 Okay, if you go over to New Orleans, you'll see 370 00:21:56.400 --> 00:21:59.440 a lot of ghosts. Who knows how many haunted hotels 371 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.039 there are New Orleans, But let's tell you about one 372 00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:04.720 of the most famous in the French quarter. Of course, 373 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.519 in the late eighteen hundreds, a toddler named Maurice Bager 374 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:11.519 died on the property of a high Fever and he 375 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.400 is often seen today on the fourteenth floor, which really dead. 376 00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.720 Wouldn't that be the thirteenth floor. Don't all these hotels 377 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:18.960 skip the thirteenth floor? 378 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:21.440 Well? Who knows what they do. Let's tell everybody the 379 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.759 name of the hotel is the Monte Leone. Am I 380 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.599 saying it correctly? 381 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:29.960 Yes, I believe so. Hotels Leone and New Orleans. People 382 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.920 also say that the former employee, William red Wildemere, continues 383 00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:36.640 to hang around, arguing with the ghost of a chef 384 00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:39.119 and a server about whether or not to keep the 385 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.680 hotel open. I'd like to witness that a couple of 386 00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:43.839 goo in an argument. 387 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.720 It'd be interesting to listen to that conversation, wouldn't it. Yeah, 388 00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:51.960 And back to Massachusetts and of course Salem. The Hawthorne 389 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.839 Hotel is of course a haunted place, although those who 390 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.079 study the history of the witch trials in this area 391 00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:04.680 know the real stories. Situated across from Salem Common, this 392 00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:10.960 hotel has its share of ghostly legends, furniture moves, unexplained noises, 393 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:16.640 strange smells, apparitions, a baby cries on the third flour, 394 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.319 and of course, the ghost of Bridget Bishop, the first 395 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.799 woman executed in the trials, is said to wander the halls. 396 00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:30.000 Salem hosts thousands of visitors, particularly in October every year, 397 00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.880 and the hotel, of course, is named after literary Titan 398 00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:35.680 Nathaniel Hawthorne. 399 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:38.519 I have an unghostly story to share about him that 400 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:42.440 our fellow writers will appreciate. He was married to the 401 00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.960
