 Lizzie
Borden B & B
Hawthorne Hotel
Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast
If you are a
visitor to the historic New England state of Massachusetts, plan a
ghost-hunting adventure and stay at one of Massachusetts' haunted
hotels. And if you are a resident of Massachusetts, get to know your
state's spookier side and embark on an exploration of the
unexplainable and visit one of Massachusetts' very own haunted
hotels. One of its most haunted hotel is the Lizzie Borden Bed and
Breakfast in Fall River, that is home to the legendary Lizzie
Borden.
92 Second St, Fall River, Massachusetts (508)
675-7333
 August
4th, 1892, legend has it that youngest daughter, Lizzie Borden took an
axe and murdered her father and step-mother. Though tried and acquitted,
Lizzie was ostracized from the community of Fall River.
The Lizzie Borden Inn is thpe actual home where this
murder took place. The home remained a private residence, but now it is
open as a B&B – so not only can you see the rooms where the murders took
place, you can actually spend a spooky night in them! This is
spooky/ghost-lovers dream!
 The
proprietors even serve their guests a breakfast similar to the one the
Bordens ate on the morning of the murders, which includes bananas,
jonny-cakes, sugar cookies and coffee in the addition to a delicious
meal of breakfast staples!
There has been some unusual ghostly experiences at the inn. Body
impressions appearing on newly made beds and mysterious
fog or smoke in the parlor are about the extent of it though –
sorry, no sightings of any Bordens’ ghosts.

SAY-STAY
 When you
first think of Salem you automatically think of witches. Salem is indeed
affectionately referred to as “Witch City.” Heck, this is the place to
visit if you are bent on witch lore. But it wouldn’t be complete without
a few ghosts too, right? And the Salem hotel to stay at to experience
some paranormal activity is the Hawthorne Hotel.
Named after American
author and Salemite, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Hawthorne was built in
1925. But enough of the brief history lesson. You just want to know
about the ghosts of course! According to the hotel’s general manager,
the most prominent paranormal activities involve the “phantom hands in
room 325” and the spectral woman on the sixth floor. There are swarms of
stories about bathroom lights and plumbing going on by themselves in
room 325, as well as the sound of a child crying and the sensation of
hands touching guests.
Furthermore, a ghostly
lady has been allegedly seen roaming the hallways on the sixth floor,
before she pauses and enters room 612. Guests of that room have reported
to have felt a “presence.”
 Unfortunately, when the
Hawthorne Hotel was investigated by the show Ghost Hunters, their people
didn’t come up with anything. We think that perhaps the ghosts just took
the day off. However, the general manager at the Hawthorne Hotel does
dispute the circulating story that the hotel is on the site where the
first executed witch of the Salem Witch Trials, Bridget Bishop owned an
apple orchard. Claims have been made that the scent of apples can be
smelled at the Hawthorne. The correct story is that the apple orchard
was on the site where the Lyceum Restaurant resides. Whether the scent
of apples can be smelled at the Lyceum remains a mystery……
There are also a few
very cool things about staying at the Hawthorne. First and
foremost…..episodes of Bewitched were actually filmed there! And
secondly, this hotel uses Salem’s witchy history as a source of fun.
Each year they throw a Halloween party extravaganza for their guests.
Part of the package includes a three night stay, two tickets to their
Annual Costume Party and a VIP goodie gift bag.
