9 Haunted Bed and Breakfasts to Sleep with a Ghost

Hysterical, historical or haunted? With so many beautiful historic homes, many with a haunted history, it’s no wonder that ghostly spirits enjoy America’s B&Bs, just like living guests they don’t want to leave these beautiful places. bnbfinder, the world’s most comprehensive independently owned international bed and breakfast directory, has selected nine haunted bed and breakfasts for your Halloween getaways. Here are bnbfinder’s top picks for Boo-tiful and Spirited B&Bs along with ideas for the best halloween destinations for 2019.

Grand Victorian Inn, New Orleans, LA

Always known for its spirts in more ways than one, Halloween comes early to New Orleans with the Krewe of Boo! celebration. If Halloween and Mardi Gras got married, Krewe of Boo! would be their child. Celebrated on Oct 19th, the day starts with the Zombie Run, where runners and spectators alike show up in full costume. The main event is the parade that begins at dusk with lavish floats and freaky costumes with that infamous Mardi Gras New Orleans flair. Stay at the Grand Victorian B&B, a restored mansion just 15 minutes from the world-famous French Quarter and take part in all the fun.

Stonecroft Inn, Ledyard, CT

Stay in the Stonecroft room here in the 1807 House with its beautiful hand painted mural and you are guaranteed to sleep with a ghost. The wrap-around mural in this room will transport you back to the nineteenth century where artistic liberty allows the Beatles to entertain you from the sunning circle. James Dean and a ghost-like figure are also featured in the mural. See if you can find them. Some believe with the age of this building that the spirit in the mural could still be hanging around.

Bewitched & Bedazzled B&B, Rehoboth Beach, DE

Two B&Bs adjoined via a 4000 square foot deck have been host to up close and personal encounters with pint-sized apparitions as reported on Delmarva Historic Haunts. In addition, guests can sleep in chambers playing homage to the 1960s sitcom, “Bewitched”, like the Samantha & Darrin room, named after TV’s most famous playful witch and her mortal husband. For the younger set, a stay in the Tabitha room would honor the daughter of TV’s Bewitched Samantha. The spirits that employees encountered here are pint-sized and playful, just like Tabitha in the TV series.

Gabriel’s, a Provincetown Hotel, Provincetown, MA

Provincetown, MA is where the Pilgrims first landed and the Mayflower Compact was signed and makes for a great spooky vacation because of all the history. This haunted hotel  is located at the base of the Pilgrim Monument on what was the Wampanoag settlement. Stay here and you may just encounter one of the original inhabitants of the house – Mary Cook, the daughter of a sea captain lost at sea. She’s often seen by guests looking through the window, probably out to sea for her missing father and brothers lost there.  Innkeepers tell bnbfinder editors, “she does not like construction and if they try and change out the pictures in the room…well, we do not try anymore.” They know it’s Mary Cook from the countless guests who’ve encountered her then pointed to her in the family painting hanging at the inn.
