Haunted Hotels: A Guide to American and Canadian Inns and Their Ghosts Book

For the jaded traveler who wants a room with atmosphere, for whom vibrant sunsets are old hat, for whom the sound of the surf is passé, Robin Mead has a splendid idea: spend the night with a ghost. His guide to haunted hotels in Canada and the U.S. covers 27 states, 3 territories, and 83 possessed lodgings. Mead presents the usual hotel descriptions in a more entertaining than usual style, complete with address, contact numbers, and hotel facilities. But Mead also launches into a history of each hotel and a profile of its supernatural guest(s). From Old Seth Bullock in South Dakota's Bullock Hotel to the Radisson Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, whose specter is none other than Marilyn Monroe, Mead's ghosts add a certain something not found in most hotel brochures. No real horror stories, however, are involved. The worst accusation comes from Maine's Kennebunk Inn where some honeymooners claimed the ghost of Silas Perkins made their bed collapse. Were it not for Kennebunk's numerous other sightings, it would have been written off as just a likely story. --Stephanie Gold Read More

  • Product Description

    Haunted Hotels: A Guide to American and Canadian Inns and Their Ghosts is a guide to more than a hundred inns varying in size, price, and ghoulish atmosphere. The book "explores ghostly traditions in hotels, inns and bed-and-breakfasts throughout the U.S. and Canada," says the Chicago Tribune. The book's listing include contact information, a list of facilities, and price range, as well as descriptions of the permenant residents. If you are "looking for something spirited in lodgings in the United States and Canada, here's your ghostly guide," states the Star Ledger. No matter which inn you choose, there is a strong possibility of having a visiter who is not "all there". The author, Robin Mead, stayed in each of the hotels, and many times in the "haunted" rooms, gathering information about the history of the lodgings and the habits of the ghosts. Robin Mead is a well-known travel writer whose authored twenty-six books, contributes regularly to more than fifty newspapers and magazines, and has homes both in London and the United States. Having extensively researched these hotels and inns, Mead leaves the thrill of meeting these translucent guests up to you.
