Haunted Hotels in Ahoskie, NY

The Hotel

Address: 107 Railroad St, Ahoskie, NC 27910

Phenomenons reported: Apparitions, Feeling of being watched, Phantom footsteps

I love spooky, haunted things. This was my first ghost tour at the Hotel and the overall experience was phenomenal. The crew made the tour fun and engaging. There is DEFINITELY some activity at this place and being able to interact with the spirits alongside the staff was such a cool experience. They encourage you to ask questions, experiment with tools, take initiative, and I ended up staying for the maximum tour time because I was enjoying the experience so much. I will be coming back, I will be telling friends, and I will be bringing them with me!

Been to every Haunted House in the area....hands down the best one I've been too....great job !! We will be back !

This place was awesome! We have visited many haunted attractions and this is by far in our top 2 ever. The actors & costumes were awesome! Loved the lights out/glow stick experience. Scary but fun interactions with the actors. They kept stealing my glow stick! Lol We could tell that a lot of time and energy went into this experience. Well worth the hour drive and entry fee. We’ll be back!

Why it's Haunted

Located in Seagraves, Texas, the The Hotel Texan stands within a community where local legends and ghost stories have been passed down through generations.

The hotel itself may not be the subject of specific haunting reports, but its proximity to documented paranormal sites and historical events creates an environment where supernatural experiences are not entirely uncommon.

Guests staying at the property sometimes report mild paranormal phenomena including unexplained footsteps in hallways, brief glimpses of figures in peripheral vision, and the feeling that certain rooms hold emotional imprints from previous occupants. The building’s architecture and age contribute to an atmosphere where natural settling sounds can be interpreted as supernatural activity, while the property’s role in local hospitality means it has witnessed countless human dramas over the years.

Staff members maintain professional discretion regarding unusual occurrences, though some acknowledge that certain areas of the hotel seem to retain stronger connections to past events. Visitors interested in paranormal activity may find that their heightened awareness leads to experiences that, while not dramatically supernatural, suggest the presence of residual energy and spiritual activity.

Haunted Hotels in Lake Lure, NY

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa

Address: 2771 Memorial Hwy, Lake Lure, NC 28746

Phenomenons reported: Military/soldier spirits, Bridal apparitions, Apparitions, Moving objects, Photographic evidence, Unexplained screams/crying

HAUNTED yet elegant. Ghost Hunters did a search here many moons ago. I onvce worked there. Never go into the basement workshop alone. Very uneasy feeling in it. A rich history. Two Presidents have been there. Several celebrities. It is a very elegant hotel.

Love the inn, love the 1920 theme and the staff was up to par ! But one thing is creepy , our room bathroom had some weird creepy feeling the robes in the closet kept moving it had some kinda weird scary activity in the bathroom , I don't believe in ghost I believe in spirits and defiantly was one there ! Its said to be haunted , this I believe , will definalty stay again tho !

This hotel is old and never updated. We were very surprised when we got in our room. Very small, smell old and moldy, no fridge in the room. Bathroom is small and dangerously built with step that you can’t really see well due to darkness in the bathroom and dark tiles. I had to put towels on the steps so we don’t miss it. Another thing that was frustrating dog fee. Website listed as $60 per pet per night, one front desk person said $60 per stay and when you check in paperwork show $25 per pet per night. Which one is it? We were charged $300 for 5 nights. Room cost is extremely expensive for hotel ( or should I say motel) in that shape. Outside looks great but inside is horrible. Oh and be prepared for ghosts visit and weird sounds. I wouldn’t recommend it to any of my friends or family, go to Airbnb for that money and you will have great experience.

Why it's Haunted

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa harbors a tragic romantic haunting that has persisted since a young bride was brutally murdered in Room 217 during the 1930s, creating one of North Carolina’s most documented hotel ghost stories.

Established by Lucius and Elizabeth Parker in 1927 alongside the creation of Lake Lure through damming the Rocky Broad River, the inn hosted distinguished guests including F. Scott Fitzgerald and Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Franklin Roosevelt before its transformation into a convalescent home for wounded WWII soldiers during the 1940s.

The murdered bride’s spirit manifests through blood-curdling screams that paranormal investigators have recorded on two separate occasions, the identical sounds providing chilling evidence of her eternal anguish in Room 217 where her life was violently ended. Dr. Lucius Morse appears as a male figure in the dining room and spa areas, possibly connected to the inn’s early medical history, while video surveillance has captured questionable footage in the lobby including blurs and apparent images of legs and pants moving through the area at 2 AM. Professional paranormal investigations by Michael LaChiana, The Heritage Hunters Society, and Paranormal Scene Investigators have confirmed ongoing supernatural activity throughout the property, though investigators maintain scientific objectivity while acknowledging the compelling evidence.

The inn continues operating as a hotel and spa, its paranormal reputation adding historical intrigue to its scenic mountain setting.
