The Fascination With Haunted Bed & Breakfast Locations

By Patti Rob

A haunted bed & breakfast can draw huge 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.

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.

There are quite a few bed & breakfast locations out there billed as being haunted in some way. Of course you can't choose 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 online as well. It often gets plenty of attention from people seeking out such locations.

It is often the desire to find something more out there that drives people to book reservations at haunted bed & breakfast locations. They want to find out for themselves if there is something to the stories they have been told or read about. There are those that have no desire to stay at such locations though. In fact, they may be turned off by the entire prospect of it.

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.

California is a very common place to visit. There in Groveland you will find the Bed & Breakfast with the same namesake. It is said the spirit of an old miner who lived and died there still remains. He is well known for moving items that he feels are in his personal space. He can also be found to mess with the lights and the water as a way to let people know that is still his home.

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 have also found flowers and other nice items in their rooms without any understanding of how they appeared.

Staying at a haunted bed & breakfast can certainly be entertaining. It can offer you a great element that you haven't had with your travels before. If you aren't comfortable with the thought of others around in this form though you should steer clear of such businesses. You never know when the ghosts there will decide to let their presence be known.
