Much like the above definition, except the exclaimation "swish!" can be extended outside of basketball to notify:
*a perfect play in any field of life,
*huge contentment with a recent development or situation

I replied yesterday, but then it disappeared. That's par for the course for me lately!! Everyone is finally healthy again after the stomach bug and strep invaded our house! The kids figured out staying home from school is not as fun as you would think it would be.
I've got a crazy one coming up! Last dance competition this weekend! We also have baseball Saturday, Sunday and Monday!! We have to start making up a few games, so it's a little crazy. We'll probably get rained out again on Saturday, but you never know. Weather people are the only people I know that get paid to be wrong!! Otherwise, I'm trying to play catch up from being stuck in the house for 5 days! Fun times!

In a world of dizzying ambiguity, the existence of ultimate evil might at least offer some moral clarity. But that's not what happens in The Counterfeiters, this year's Oscar winner for best foreign-language film.
A fictionalized account of a Nazi scheme to finance Hitler's war machine with bogus British and American currency, the story is told through the eyes of Salomon Sorowitsch - conveniently non-Semitic "Sally" to his friends - a master counterfeiter who doesn't apologize for his mercenary nature. In prewar Berlin, his friends urge him to help his fellow Jews in the resistance, but he merely shrugs. "I am me, and the others are the others."
When he's arrested, it's as a criminal, but soon enough he's one of the others, fighting to survive in the concentration camps.
First, his artistic talent saves him. He paints family portraits and propaganda murals for the Nazis in return for food. Then he's recruited for the counterfeiting project, where skilled professionals are treated to such luxuries as a weekly shower and a mattress.
The will to survive has made most of his co-workers as mercenary as he. If their efforts help Hitler keep fighting the Allies, well, at least they get to live another day and are spared the worst of the camp's brutality. But what if they didn't do their job so well?
The horror and dehumanization of the Holocaust are familiar themes, as is the moral compromise of unwilling collaborators. What makes The Counterfeiters compelling is the vivid portrayal of individual characters amidst so much human wreckage. Karl Markovics is quietly riveting as Sally, a man without ideology but not without principle. Equally powerful is Devid Striesow as the officer in charge of the project. No idealist himself, he never sets out to be a monster, but he won't let a little thing like mass murder get in the way of an opportunity.
Stylistically shot in washed-out retro tones, The Counterfeiters isn't the most original entry in the canon of Holocaust cinema. This is such a thoroughly explored subject that staggering insights are increasingly rare. Yet the film does shed light an another facet of Nazi history, and it does it with an attention to the complexity of human nature that makes it worthy of its Oscar win.

I've gone through "episode one" of the this tutorial series and while there were some minor differences between my and their version of MPS, I got through it just fine. I've run into trouble with the second episode.
At about 8m30s, the type of the static field declaration is parameterized with a COPYSRC macro. We've defined the input of the template-based generator as a "Constant" (reduce_Constant), which has been given a single child ("initializer") from the Expression structure(?) of the baseLanguage. In the video, completion finds the "type" property(?) of the "initializer".
In my version of the project, I get no such completion for "type" (if I type it in, I get an "AbstractConcept" error). I then opened the sampleJavaExtensions/languages/Constants project for comparison. That project seems to work just fine; I attempted to make mine look as much like the sample without adding new features not yet presented in the tutorial series - no luck. I tried many variations of rebuilding/(project/model)checking, etc.
Since I'm new, I don't know what else to try; can someone recommend how I might debug this?
I've attached the build.number file from my MPS installation directory.

In the nine years that Ted Thompson has run the draft for the Green Bay Packers, he has been able to come up with some very nice late-round talent. By late round, I mean fifth round or later.
The list includes:
- Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly (sixth round in 2006)
- Fullback Korey Hall (sixth round in 2007)
- Linebacker Desmond Bishop (sixth round in 2007)
- Kicker Mason Crosby (sixth round in 2007)
- Quarterback Matt Flynn (seventh round in 2008)
- Linebacker Brad Jones (seventh round in 2009)
- Tight Andrew Quarless (fifth round in 2010)
- Running back James Starks (sixth round in 2010)
- Defensive lineman C.J. Wilson (seventh round in 2010)
- Tight end Ryan Taylor (seventh round in 2011)
- Defensive back Micah Hyde (fifth round in 2013)
- Defensive lineman Josh Boyd (fifth round in 2013)
- Linebacker Sam Barrington (seventh round in 2013)
That's quite a list. Thompson has also done very well in the fourth round—especially along the offensive line, as Josh Sitton (2008), T.J. Lang (2009), David Bakhtiari (2013) and J.C. Tretter (2013) were all fourth-round selections.
For this slideshow, however, I am going to name five players whom I believe will be drafted in the fifth round or later but also have the attributes and talent to help the Packers in 2014 and beyond.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:
That the only reason athletes would oppose drug testing is if they were using drugs.
Major League Baseball announced the completion of a new collective bargaining agreement with its players union this week, and among the changes in the deal is the implementation of testing for human growth hormone as part of the program to prevent the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Athletes searching for a get-big, get-strong drug after steroid testing became effective have gravitated to HGH for a couple of very good reasons. It works great, and, because detecting its use requires a blood test, not just a urine test, the professional leagues have not been testing for it.

It should be a familiar sight in the District 3-4A boys basketball race this season, but the pecking order could change.
For the past eight seasons, Palo Duro has reigned atop the district, and Randall has been close behind. There's a chance that could be the other way around by season's end.
Randall, with a young squad that hit its stride late last season and finished 20-11, is ranked No. 16 in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Class 4A preseason poll - a lofty ranking usually reserved for Palo Duro.
And it's possible Palo Duro could rise to that level again. Randall coach Leslie Broadhurst certainly isn't discounting the Dons, although he's still high on his Raiders.
"I think everybody still thinks Palo Duro with what they've done in the past eight years is still the team to beat," Broadhurst said. "I like the fact that we think we have the chance to beat them. I think we're good enough to play with anybody."
It seems hardly anybody beats Palo Duro in a district game, but on those rare occasions it's been done, the Raiders have done it. Last season, Randall ended PD's 88-game district winning streak with a 50-42 victory. Nobody had beaten the Dons in district play since Randall had pulled off a victory in February 2002 - the last season somebody other than Palo Duro won the district championship.
The Raiders return three starters, including their two leading scorers - senior post Joesph Scott and junior guard Ridrell Holman. Both were all-district selections last season.
"We're always good every year," said the 6-foot-8 Scott, who averaged 12 points and 8.9 rebounds a game as a junior. "It's just that we have a lot more experience this year than we've had before. We're more mentally strong than before."
Holman was the district's newcomer of the year last year, averaging 11.6 points a game, and provides an outside complement to Scott's inside muscle. He embraces the preseason reputation the Raiders have.
"It makes it fun when you see a team could be intimidated by you," Holman said. "But there will also be teams who will come out and play harder against you. We've got to go all out completely to win."
Senior forward Aaron Yell is the other returning starter. The Raiders also figure to carry three sophomore guards, most notably Logan Brittain, who went to the state track meet last year as a freshman in the high jump.
Broadhurst likes the balance of his team but still thinks the Raiders need to find their individual roles.
"We've still got some new players to mix in with three full-time starters, and it usually takes until after Christmas that you start gelling," Broadhurst said.
Palo Duro and Randall may be considered favorites, but Hereford and Canyon return to the district as playoff teams from last season, and Plainview and Frenship were in the postseason last year as members of District 4-4A, which should make most nights a challenge.
"I do think that (Randall) has a very good team coming back," Palo Duro coach Jeff Evans said. "They have a very good mix of size and quickness coming back, which will make them hard to deal with. There's always so many unanswered questions until you start playing, but this is going to be a very tough district."

It's worth it to educate yourself about the different kinds of plumbing parts in your house and what they do. Find out more here.
I had a Duff plumber at my house and at the same time my dog got into a bees nest and got stung many times. The plumber was wonderful when I explained that I had to bring my dog to the VET immediately due to all the bee stings, he told me he would finish up and bill me. No problem. The work was great. He was very helpful when I was frantic with my snorting dog when her nose was closing up due to all the bee stings. Nice guy and I would allow him in my house anytime.
If you own a house or commercial building, you're bound to need a plumber at some point. Here's a list of the different kinds of plumbing services you might need assistance with:
Pipe Installation
You might only think of needing a plumber when the pipes in your house burst. However, a plumbing contractor also installs all of those pipes, whether they're made of PVC or copper, in your building. Professional plumbing services also lay pipe in place for wastewater, rainwater runoff and even air conditioning systems.
Not only do they install pipes, plumbers set up sewer lines and vents as well as gutters, down pipes and storage tanks for residential and commercial facilities.
Maintenance Work
Just like getting a regular oil change for your car or truck, your home's pipes and water system also need regular maintenance and check-ups to ensure they're running right. This is why plumbers also offer upkeep services to test your entire plumbing system on a monthly or biannual basis to catch any issues with your pipes before they become an emergency.
This type or work spans from moving a water line or cleaning a sewer line to installing an ice maker or even a hot tub.
Repair Services
Most likely, you'll need a plumber in case of an emergency repair. Services can run the gamut from repairing a clogged toilet and leaking faucets to replacing whole water heating systems. Some jobs can take just a few hours while others might require a day or two of work if the repairs are extensive, such as replacing a hot water heater.
Other tough jobs could require your plumbing contractor to put his or her carpentry skills to work by sawing through walls to get to your pipes.
You can also hire a plumber to get the cost-saving advice you need. If you're interested in buying a new home or property, it's smart to hire a contractor or a plumbing service to not only tell you if the building's foundation is sound, but also if the pipes are in good working order. You wouldn't want to purchase a new house and repair the damage someone else did to the property. This is why many plumbers also offer consultancy work to check a facility's water and gas systems and advise home and building owners on best practices they can perform to minimize damage to their pipes.
Having plumbing work done, whether it's for your home or business, can be incredibly expensive. That's why its vital for you to ask a plumbing service the right kind of questions before you hire them. You want to do as much due diligence on your part as possible to get a professional who will not only do quality work but also charge you a fair price for it.
It's best to hire a plumber to do a simple, everyday maintenance task for you first so you can judge his or her work. If you're happy with it, save their contact information so you'll have them on hand in case you need an emergency repair. This can spare you the extra worry and anxiety of having to track down a plumber if you have a broken pipe. Additionally, it can save you from being overcharged.
However, what should you ask a plumbing service if you've never even hired one before? Here are a few questions that can help you identify the professional from the amateur:
Are you licensed and registered?
Some states do not require plumbers to be licensed, but for the safety of your house, the people living under your roof and for your pocketbook, you'll want a licensed plumber to do the needed work.
A licensed plumber means the person completed the necessary education or training required to work as a professional tradesperson. Hiring a licensed plumbing service means the people working on your building are knowledgeable about water and gas pipes. If you use unlicensed workers, you run the risk of them damaging your home even further and endangering you by doing faulty work.
Check your state's laws beforehand, as hiring an unlicensed plumber could be illegal where you live.
Not only does a plumber's apprentices have to complete their training and education to receive their license, they also are required to pass a criminal background check and carry liability insurance. Hiring just anybody can make you vulnerable to fraud since unlicensed plumbers might not know what they're doing or could pretend to fix something and end up charging you for the incomplete work.
Are you insured and bonded?
A trustworthy plumber will have both commercial liability insurance as well as be bonded. The insurance and the bond protects the plumber from paying for any damages made to your house out of pocket. Having professionals that carry both of these policies can protect all of you from any mishaps that could occur while they work on your building. Remember, not all plumbers are the same and not all of them carry the necessary insurance and bonds to protect themselves and your home from damage or shoddy work.
How many years have you been in business?
Not only do you want a licensed and trustworthy professional, you'll want one who's been in business for a few years. More experience also means the plumber will have a prior work history you can check. A more inexperienced plumber might not have many customer reviews or examples of his or her work to show you.
What, if any, professional associations do you belong to?
It can never hurt to ask plumbers if they're part of a professional association, whether it's a state or national group. Being a part of a professional organization provides an extra guarantee that the person you hire is licensed and offers you a warranty for their labor.
May I have a list of references?
While it's advisable to ask friends, family and neighbors if they can recommend a good plumber, they might not have anyone you can call. With that said, it's best to ask a plumbing service for a list of references that you can contact to get a good picture of the kind of work their business does and if it's quality or not.
Before you hire a plumber, contact their past customers if you're able to. These people can be a wealth of information if you ask them the right questions. Pose the following queries to these former patrons when you get the chance:
Do you offer a written warranty for your work?
Whenever you make a large purchase, you always request a receipt, right? Well, you will want a written warranty for any work or repairs done to the plumbing in your house. You want someone that's doing major maintenance or repair work on your house or commercial building to stand by his or her labor. Before you hire a plumber, ask him or her if they offer written warranties.
Will I need a permit for this work?
If a plumber needs to do major repairs to your house, the work could call for a permit. You'll want this since a permit provides added assurance that the work is done correctly. Having this added measure in place means an inspector will check the work your contractor or plumber does to ensure he or she did the job correctly. If you ever plan on putting your house or commercial building on the market, a real estate agent and prospective buyers will also want to check any large work you did to make sure it was done properly.
To keep yourself safe from fraud or a possible scam, always remember to ask plumbers for their license along with a written warranty for their labor. Besides this, further safeguard yourself by checking their references and ensure they or their company is insured and bonded to do their work.
While it's smart to get maintenance work done on your pipes every once in a while, there are a number of prevention tips that will not only prolong the life of your pipes but also help you save on your water bill. Here are a few you should keep in mind:
Water Conservation
Be mindful of how much water you use in your bathroom, kitchen and even outdoors when watering your lawn. Make sure your toilet handle works properly and doesn't stick. You don't want it continuously flushing. Replace your old shower heads with more efficient low-flow options that can cut down on the gallons of water you use each morning.
Simple things such as turning off the sink while you brush your teeth or only running your dishwasher or clothes washer when you have a full load to clean can make more efficient use of water.
Prevention Tips
You won't always need to call a plumber to help you fix a nasty clog if you treat your pipes right. Don't use your toilet or kitchen sink like a trash can by stuffing hard to flush material down the drain or pouring fats and oils down the pipe. Throw coffee grounds and egg shells in the garage instead of in your sink. Also, only use your toilet to flush human waste and toilet paper, because any other materials could clog your commode.
Seasonal Tips
Frozen pipes are hazardous and can cause massive amounts of damage to your home. To prevent your pipes from freezing during the winter, run your faucets at a trickle and keep your house's heater at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or above to keep the water flowing.
Plumbing problems come in all shapes and sizes. The following are some of the most common, as well as how to fix them:
Discolored Water
If you turn on your bathroom or kitchen sink in the morning to find brown or rust-colored water coming out of your faucet, don't panic. The discoloration is most likely due to old iron pipes or recent use of a hydrant or water main that disturbed the usual flow of water. Keep your water running for a minute or so and it should run clear after a while.
Leaky and Dripping Faucets
Having a leaking or dripping faucet can run up your water bill. To fix it, first shut off the water under the sink then remove any decorative parts of the faucet and replace the washer and O-ring before reassembling everything.
Water Heater
Your water heater could be the cause of a lot of issues around your home, from a lack of hot water to foul smells and popping sounds. Hire a professional plumber to take care of the more complex jobs that a heater can require. However, if you're having hot water issues, you can simply examine the thermostat and adjust it accordingly.
If you hear odd sounds coming from your water heater, it could be due to sediment building up. To get rid of this, make sure you clean out the heater every few months. However, if you hear a boiling noise, it could mean the heater is overheating and you should call a plumbing professional as soon as possible.
Drain and Toilet Clogs
Before calling a plumber, try to unclog your drains and toilets yourself by using a plunger. Make sure you use a standard bell-shaped plunger for your sink and shower drains and a plunger with a flanged end for your toilets. If neither type can loosen the pipe blockage, put a plumber's snake to use. Ratchet the snake down the pipe to eliminate any clogs.

Ready screw hangers not so ready
By Barb
from New Hope pa
Comments about OOK ReadyScrew D-Ring Hangers:
The ready screw hangers cannot be turned with an electric screw driver. Using a hand screwdriver, they do not lie flat to the frame. The look is not as professional as I I am used to.I had to switch to longer screws for a wood frame.I will not order again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great purpose-made hangers
By hen3ri
from Northern Vermont
A superior, secure method to attach picture wires to picture frames. Can't say these things are inexpensive, they run about a dollar a piece, but given the alternatives they are worth it. I priced them elsewhere and Blick's price was the best, especially with flat shipping rate of $4.95
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Jess

These are so easy to install, and are very strong.
D-rings are the only way to hang
By Dawn
from Kaneohe
I use D-rings exclusively because they are the most structurally sound design, and they also don't stick out, potentially damaging other work stacked against each other during hangings or pick ups of shows. I wish they had a size smaller--they apparently don't.
Great product

I love these, the price is comparable to my previous ones, the D-ring hangers maybe a little bit sturdier. Great product.

I use ReadyScrew D-ring hangars for all my art work. They are simple and quick to install and assure me of a solid, secure mount. The only thing left to do is to add the picture wire and you're ready to hang your art work. For large and/or heavy pieces, I switch to the 2 screw D-ring hangars and have never had an issue about the strength or security of the mounts. Easy, fast and secure...you can't ask for more in a product. Highly recommended.

For the first half of this year, more people have been killed in South Sudan than in Darfur, Enough Project notes in an excellent new report. It's another reminder that the focus has to be on "Save Sudan" rather than just "Save Darfur."

STRATEGY PAPER: Sudan: The countdown
READ the strategy paper.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Obama administration is bringing together key signatories and representatives from more than 30 countries and organizations in Washington this week in an effort to reinvigorate Sudan's troubled Comprehensive Peace Agreement, or CPA, which ended a more than 20-year civil war in Sudan. A new strategy paper by the Enough Project at the Center for American Progress previews what will be discussed at the administration's meeting and provides policy recommendations and an historical perspective on the most pressing issues.
"Sudan: The Countdown," discusses the difficult current state of play in north-south Sudanese politics and argues that the international community needs to adopt a new approach to the crucial final period before a referendum will be held on self-determination for southern Sudan, which will formally end the CPA. The referendum, which is scheduled for 2011, in just 19 months, is the final benchmark outlined by the CPA, the agreement that ended a more than 20-year civil war between northern and southern Sudan.
Unfortunately, the strategy paper says, there continue to be delays in implementing many of the CPA's outstanding provisions. These delays and increased violence in southern Sudan highlight the myriad problems that exist with the current approach to the complex and ambitious project of CPA implementation. The predominant National Congress Party's pattern of selective CPA implementation and a recent spate of inter-communal violence throughout the South are threatening to derail the CPA process before 2011, argues the strategy paper, authored by Professor Gerard Prunier and Enough Project Policy Assistant Maggie Fick.
John Norris, the executive director of the Enough Project, notes, "One of the key problems with the CPA to date has been the fact that the parties to the CPA, particularly President Bashir's National Congress Party, have not faced any cost from the international community for a failure to implement key provisions of the agreement. Unless that changes, conflict in Sudan will only intensify."
Adds co-author Maggie Fick, "The myriad challenges and risks facing Sudan in the next 19 months cannot be addressed and mitigated unless the international community adopts a new approach to the crucial final stages of CPA implementation."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Delegations from north Sudan's National Congress Party, or NCP, and south Sudan's Sudan People's Liberation Movement, or SPLM, will meet here tomorrow at a conference organized by Special Envoy to Sudan Major General Scott Gration to address disputes over the stalled implementation of the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement, or CPA. Save Darfur Coalition President Jerry Fowler, Enough Project Executive Director John Norris, and Genocide Intervention Network Executive Director Sam Bell issued the following statement:
"The Sudan advocacy community is encouraged by the U.S. government's initiative to bring together NCP and SPLM representatives to assess the status of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. For too long, the international community has been slow in responding to the sputtering pace of CPA implementation and the NCP's attempts to undermine the agreement. The conference shows a welcome renewed commitment from the United States to lead the international community in re-engaging with the CPA.
"We expect tomorrow's conference to address several issues that are critical to peace in Sudan. Parties to the CPA should also focus on long-term policy objectives that, after the referendum, will help prevent a violent collapse of the Sudanese state.
"In particular, we hope that the conference will make progress on the following:
Key unimplemented CPA provisions, including:
Ensuring elections in a safe environment without additional delays. Elections are not a silver bullet and will not guarantee democratic governance. However, they should be supported as an opportunity to press for greater political freedom and participation no matter the outcome. Specifically, the international community should push for revisions to key Sudanese legislation pertaining to elections, including the National Elections Act, Press and Media Law, and the National Security Act.
Negotiations between the NCP and SPLM on a long-term wealth sharing agreement. Discussions of access to land for populations with diverse needs and livelihoods and planning for mutually beneficial development of oilfields in the contested border region could ease tensions over border demarcation and generate momentum for further cooperation.
"CPA implementation should be reprioritized as part of a comprehensive approach to ending Sudan's conflicts. This approach must also recognize that Sudan's complex conflicts have a common core: flawed governance by a center that exploits and marginalizes an underdeveloped periphery.
"The successful implementation of the CPA is essential to achieving peace in Sudan, but it cannot stand alone. The original intent of this agreement was to provide a transformative framework for peace and democracy for all of Sudan. It is our hope that the revitalizing of the CPA at this conference will also bolster parallel efforts to reach a peaceful settlement in Darfur."

About the coalition: The Save Darfur Coalition - an alliance of more than 180 faith-based, advocacy and human rights organizations - raises public awareness about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and mobilizes a unified response to the atrocities that threaten the lives of people throughout the Darfur region. The coalition's member organizations represent 130 million people of all ages, races, religions and political affiliations united together to help the people of Darfur. For more information on the coalition, please visit www.SaveDarfur.org.
Enough is a project of the Center for American Progress to end genocide and crimes against humanity. Founded in 2007, Enough focuses on crises in Sudan, Chad, eastern Congo, northern Uganda, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. Enough's strategy papers and briefings provide sharp field analysis and targeted policy recommendations based on a "3P" crisis response strategy: promoting durable peace, providing civilian protection, and punishing perpetrators of atrocities. Enough works with concerned citizens, advocates, and policy makers to prevent, mitigate, and resolve these crises. Visit www.enoughproject.org.
About Genocide Intervention Network - Genocide Intervention Network is working to build the first permanent anti-genocide constituency, mobilizing the political will to stop genocide when it occurs. Accessible online at www.GenocideIntervention.net, Genocide Intervention Network empowers individuals with the tools to stop genocide.
The myriad challenges and risks facing Sudan in the next 19 months cannot be addressed and mitigated unless the international community adopts a new approach to the crucial final stages of CPA implementation. Robust, coordinated, and high-level engagement is essential from all, not just a few, of the CPA's "guarantors"—those states and organizations that witnessed the signing of the CPA and agreed to support its implementation. The United States and other key guarantors should play a lead role in driving this multilateral, multi-track approach, since the scale of the challenges over the coming months merit the engagement of all of the international actors who committed four years ago to supporting implementation of the CPA. The Washington conference is a positive start, but should be followed-up with efforts that penalize failure to implement key provisions of the agreement.

BedandBreakfast.com's 2007 Roundup of Bootiful and Spirited B&Bs
Hysterical or historical, ghostly spirits make themselves as comfortable in America's B&Bs as living guests do. No one's sure if it's the great breakfasts, the warm hospitality, or the atmosphere of these historic homes, but friendly spirits simply can't get enough of America's B&Bs. Once again, www.BedandBeakfast.com, the largest online B&B directory and reservation network worldwide, has compiled the most comprehensive list of B&Bs and inns where ghost seekers will enjoy spirited gatherings and potentially close encounters with the other world, bed-and-breakfast style. Although innkeepers are often afraid to share stories for fear of scaring guests, these B&Bs dare to reveal their ghostly happenings. Here is the complete list of the colorful ghost stories from America's B&Bs, organized regionally, then alphabetically by state.
Red Garter B&B , Williams, AZ: Owner-innkeeper John Holst describes himself as a "hardcore skeptic" when it comes to ghostly apparitions. But he has come to terms with his B&B's resident ghost, named Eve. This two-story 1897 Victorian Romanesque-style bed and breakfast, once considered the rowdiest abode on Williams' Saloon Row, operated as a bar and bordello until the 1940s. A steep flight of steps known as the "Cowboy's Endurance Test" led to the girls upstairs. Holst is pretty sure that one of the women of the night never left. While most guests have a good night's sleep, a few have said they felt the bed shake, heard someone going up and down the stairs or felt something touching their arms, according to Holst. Come experience it for yourself with nightly 'Walking Ghost Tours' until Halloween and 'Ghost Tales of the Grand Canyon Area' through the winter.
The Groveland Hotel , Groveland, CA: An old gold-miner named Lyle still prefers to hang around, and spirited storyteller and innkeeper Peggy Mosley has a collection of Lyle stories compiled from employees and guests that she loves to tell. Although a recluse in life, Lyle's spirit tends to the playful. He particularly dislikes women's cosmetics on 'his' dresser and has been known to move such items to a nearby sink. One Groveland Hotel guest watched as her new makeup 'hopped' over the back of the dresser and landed on the floor. Lyle is a great tease who likes to tinker with lights and water, and enjoys moving items around desktops.
Riverside B&B , Oroville, CA: You'll hear ghost tales around the fire with stories about the inn's Fly Fisherman Ghost here on Halloween weekend. This sportsman spirit is actually a former guest who came one year to take in the spectacle of the king salmon and steelhead trout spawning on the Feather River. He disappeared while staying at the inn, and many think that he simply stayed on in spirit to enjoy the incredible fishing.
Queen Anne Hotel , San Francisco, CA: Built as a girls' finishing school following the Gold Rush, the headmistress apparently hasn't given up her role of tending to the needs of the building's occupants. Dozens of accounts speak of "Miss Mary Lake" appearing briefly in a mirror or being noticed as a hot or cold spot in a room. There's even an odd report of Mary tucking in a napping traveler with the blanket snugly tucked all the way around the bed. The occurrences all happen in what's referred to as "Miss Mary Lake Suite" or "the haunted room" (No. 410). No wonder this is the hotel's most popular room among those seeking a chance at the third dimension. Celebrity psychic Nancy Bradley and Paranormals "Gold Rush Ghosts" have verified that the building is haunted and confirm the ghosts are friendly. It's the first stop on the Pacific Heights Ghost Trek.
Ghost Rails Inn , Alberton, MT: A century ago, the old Milwaukee Railroad paused here to take on water and change crews; the inn was built to house the railroad workers. When the Milwaukee Road abandoned services and pulled up the tracks in the 1970s, the town of Alberton nearly disappeared. It's coming back to life today as a bedroom community for nearby Missoula, just 30 minutes away. The railroading days live on in the form of a phantom brakeman, still awaiting his call upstairs in the old hotel, according to the tales of those who've seen him.
Bottger Mansion of Old Town , Albuquerque, NM: Resident ghosts sigh, pace, and sometimes even dance. There are three confirmed, and more likely six contented spirits here, documented by investigators of the paranormal. Stay over Halloween or any other time of year, and you just might experience them.
1888 Linburg House , Goliad, TX: Friendly spirits dwell here but only appear when there's a wedding involved. Sightings have included an older woman in a white nightgown with long gray hair and a bearded man with long gray hair in a three-piece suit. In all cases, these friendly spirits appeared before those involved in the wedding party. Photos of the Linburg family, original owners and namesakes of the B&B, show striking similarities to the apparitions described by guests.
Prince Solms Inn Bed & Breakfast , New Braunfels, TX: In the early 1900s, a young woman clad in a lacy wedding dress waited for her husband to arrive for their wedding at this inn. He did not appear, and despite a thorough search, he was deemed to have disappeared. The woman vowed to reside at the inn until he came and stayed on the staff for the next 20 years until her death in the late 1920s, still awaiting her true love. In 1930, a man arrived by horseback in search of a woman, and when he climbed the stairs to find her, innkeepers reported seeing the woman waiting in her wedding dress. The couple embraced then slowly disappeared. No one ever came to claim his horse, tied to the hitching post. Since then, there have been numerous sightings of a woman in her wedding dress.
Texas White House , Fort Worth, TX: The ghost here is believed to be the husband of the only family who ever lived in the house. He died here and now haunts his old bedroom (now the Lone Star Room). Interestingly, the ghost sightings occur when a single woman is staying in the room. One woman awoke in the middle of the night, feeling that someone was lying on the bed beside her, back to back. She says that for several minutes she lay perfectly still, then she felt the "person" start to move off of the bed. At that point she turned over very quickly to see who it was, and no one was there. The overhead light then came on, even though no one had turned it on. Another woman awoke feeling someone getting into bed with her. She turned over immediately to see who it was, but no one was there. Immediately afterwards, her cell phone, which was plugged in several feet away, began to beep and wouldn't stop for several seconds. She says that her phone had never done that before. A third woman reported that she felt a presence in the corner. Later that night she felt the same presence again on the other side of the bed. Thus far, all of the presences have been "friendly."
The Blue Belle Inn , Saint Ansgar, IA: The original floor plans to the house were mistakenly taken to the dump, only to reappear later in the attic. A room was mysteriously locked - but no one was inside to have locked it. Every possible key was tried to no avail; finally, in desperation, the innkeeper called out: "Will whoever is in there please open the door?" whereupon the door immediately popped open.
Inn at 835 , Springfield, IL: One guest reported hearing a warm and friendly voice saying "Well, hello there." No one was around. Another event included a single book being placed in the middle of the room multiple times. Each time it was removed from a tightly packed shelf and placed in the middle of the room. Another time, wallpaper peeled off the wall, only to be perfectly repaired by the next morning. And every now and then, there are reports of the sound of a lid being removed from a crystal candy dish and then replaced, even though no one is around. The elevator delivers guests to random floors regardless of which button is pushed. Repeated inspections and servicing proves it to be in perfect working order; does it have a mind of its own, or is there an unseen passenger?
Old Bridge Inn , Jeffersonville, IN: Recently, a candleholder lost four years earlier reappeared in the middle of a guest room. Guests have reported seeing floating objects, canes being picked up and twirled around, tea cups floating across the room and several candles being raised up then down on their own. Two women reported seeing a welcoming bearded gentleman in the dining room. From photos, they determined that he may have been the son of the property's longtime owner, Dr. Hancock. A small dog named Buttons has also been seen.
Inn at Aberdeen , Valparaiso, IN: Featured in the book Haunted Hoosier Trails, guests report seeing a little girl ghost, often observed late at night on the master staircase. She has been noted to "mess with the guests' stuff" or turn on the fireplace in their rooms. The Indiana Ghost Trackers investigated the inn and reported that Sarah Ritter, an original inhabitant, and her two children died in the home. The Ghost Trackers detected the presence of a young girl and a male with high EMF (electromagnetic field) meter readings and positive EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings. A door repeatedly opened behind them when the girl's presence was felt during the Ghost Trackers' stay.
Grand Avenue B&B , Carthage, MO: While the "no smoking" rule is in effect for all guests, the former owner is exempt. A whiff of his trademark cigar smoke wafts through the rooms from time to time when he makes his visits to his 1893 Victorian mansion.
Bingham Hall B&B , New Ulm, MN: A man named Jake has been seen by innkeepers standing in the doorway, never going in or out. Additionally, guests say that the doors open by themselves, and they hear noises and feel a presence of someone watching them.
Hannibal Garden House B&B , Hannibal, MO: Hannibal, the boyhood home of Mark Twain and his fictitious characters Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, is also home to playful spirits. One resides at the Garden House, where a male presence is most commonly felt in the stone basement playing music, talking, and sawing wood. Recently one "ghost busting" guest who returns often in search of sightings, saw an apparition cross in front of the TV, and disappear into the closet. This Halloween, take the "Haunted Historic Hannibal Trolley Tour;" stops include the cemetery where Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn played and the Old Jail Museum, home to many spirits of its own.
Hannibal Bed and Breakfast at Rockcliffe Mansion , Hannibal, MO: Built in 1898 and described as the "finest home in Missouri," this mansion was boarded up for 43 years after its owner, John J. Cruikshank Jr., died in 1924. During the years of the vacancy, local children would run through the home, under the dare of making it all the way up to the third floor classroom, tear off a piece of the schoolroom map, and return outside to prove they had made it through Hannibal's most "haunted house." Caretakers who watched over the vacant house would often be forced to leave their living quarters due to the strong smell of cigarette smoke that would sometimes appear at midnight. Now restored as a B&B, the housekeepers at Rockcliffe Mansion have to straighten the bed in the former owner's room, even when no one has been sleeping there, as it mysteriously retains the form of a 5'4" body. Mr. Cruikshank, who stood 5'4" while alive, died in that very bed! From time to time, guests have witnessed Mrs. Cruikshank floating through her grand music room.
Rivercene Mansion B&B, Boonville, MO: This 1869 mansion was the home of riverboat captain Joseph Kinney and was owned by the Kinney family until the 1990s. Captain Kinney's son Noble met an untimely death at the age of 26, when he fell down the grand staircase. The heirs, along with guests, have reported very strange encounters with Noble. Not quite ready to leave, Noble is still hanging around playing pranks on guests and innkeepers.
Prosperity School Inn , Joplin, MO: More than eight paranormal investigators have stayed here and found plenty of activity. Ask innkeepers to show you the ever-expanding guest records of ghost sightings, from seeing shadowy figures in guest rooms and hallways to hearing tapping on pipes in places where there are no pipes. Children have been heard on the stairs, and one guest reported seeing the impression of her husband sitting on a mattress when he was actually in the bathroom.
Colonel Taylor Inn B&B , Cambridge, OH: Named for the former Civil War soldier and four-term U.S. Congressman, the Colonel still roams the household, the smoke from his pipe lingering in this non-smoking inn. His entire family also inhabits the inn, from the mischievous little boy to both wives of the Colonel, plus assorted adult children. Footsteps are often heard at night, images of former servants falling down the stairs are seen, and even the tabby cat has been spotted. Beds rock without reason, and toys move on their own, but the innkeepers are confident that these friendly spirits are glad that the house is being restored to its original Victorian opulence.
C.M. Spitzer House B&B , Medina, OH: A story is told about a nosy female apparition who appeared with limited facial features except a heavy jaw. She was a short, stout woman, in her 20s, wearing what the Edwardians called a "wrapper" or housedress. She fired questions, asking her surprised witness about the family, and then disappeared as quickly as she came.
Honeybee Inn B&B , Horicon, WI: It's believed that a lumber baron named Coton is still hanging around with his female companions. His beloved rocking chair, where he died, rocks by itself, and the innkeeper's family has spotted a woman in a long skirt with an apron. Investigators of the paranormal explain that stairs squeaking at night and the unexplained ringing of bells are evidence of an active spirit in residence.
1872 John Denham House, Monticello, FL: Not only is this 130-year-old National Historic Register B&B certifiably haunted, guests can explore another dimension during October Teen and Parent Ghost Hunting Weekends. Enjoy a ghost tour and seminar and learn hands-on skills for ghost tracking, plus how to record orbs and vortexes, in audio, video, photographic and temperature formats. The course covers following the standards and protocols of the International Ghost Hunter's Society; official Ghost Tracker Certificates will be presented. Call for rates and dates.
Avera-Clarke House B&B, Monticello, FL: Located in one of ABC-TV's Most Haunted Small Towns, this B&B is a popular stop on the local walking tour. Take this historic stroll, and you just might see ghostly vestiges of Honorable Judge Thomas Clarke, a local banker, appear in unusual ways.
Casablanca Inn , St. Augustine, FL: This inn's haunted heritage began to take its shape during the early 1930s when it was a boarding house. A widow who ran the boarding house would stand watch on the balcony, swinging a lantern back and forth to warn rumrunners when government revenuers were in town. The widow has long been dead, but anglers and shrimpers passing through the inlet say they often see the swinging lantern atop the Casablanca Inn.
Penny Farthing Inn , St. Augustine, FL: Ghost busters, guests, and the innkeeper have said that plenty of playful spirits hang around here. Occurrences include midnight tugs-of-war with the blankets, and glasses leaning over and clinking on sherry bottles. One college professor described a young lady sitting on the daybed in his room when he woke up. Then, a few days later, the four-year-old daughter of the owners asked if the lady in the doorway of the dining room was a guest; the little girl described the lady she saw exactly as the college professor had.
St. Francis Inn , St. Augustine, FL: The St. Francis is the oldest inn in St. Augustine. The inn was built in 1791, and you can count on a few of its former residents still making an appearance from time to time. According to former guest Dave Lapham, shortly after he and his wife checked in, strange things began to happen. Another visitor at the inn described seeing a young African American girl, dressed in white, floating down the hallway. Later, just before going to bed, she said she saw the girl again in her room. Another guest reported that each time they tried to fill the bath with water, it kept getting hotter and hotter, no matter how much cold water was added.
Casa de la Paz , St. Augustine, FL: A young woman carrying a small suitcase and wearing a long, narrow skirt, a traveling jacket and a wide-brimmed hat is often seen here. As the story goes, she came to the inn many years ago as a guest of the original owners with her new husband on her honeymoon. On the last day of their honeymoon, the young husband decided to take a boat out for a day of fishing. He told his bride to pack and wait for him at the house because he did not know exactly when he would return. During the day a terrible storm developed and the boat capsized; he never returned. She was so distraught that she stayed in St. Augustine and died of her grief. Her spirit has never left the house, waiting for his return. Reports of hearing a knock on the door and a voice saying, "Is it time to leave yet?" have been noted. Others guests have heard a door shut and seen a figure walking down the hall. She's often seen at the top of the stairs with her bag packed, ready to depart.
Americus Garden Inn B&B , Americus, GA: A warm presence causes strange happenings at this pre-Civil War inn, and the innkeepers have made a science of capturing ghostly occurrences in photos and on tape. Doors have opened on their own with a creaking sound; clock radios have turned themselves on and off; car keys have been mysteriously moved; footsteps have been heard in unoccupied rooms; and the aroma of perfume has been reported several times in guests' rooms in the middle of the night. Guests have captured a host of "orbs" on film (not visible to the eye), and the inn is a training ground for those who investigate the paranormal. From children's voices to messages from Civil War soldiers, this inn is a treasure for those who seek ghostly experiences.
Hummingbird House , Lexington, GA: A benign spirit, referred to as Sarah, watches over the B&B, turning on lights and radios to welcome the owners home. This young girl has been seen by many guests; although none had previous knowledgeable of her, each description is always the same. Recently, her favorite prank was to turning the computer on and off, until the innkeepers moved it into their quarters.
Azalea Inn and Gardens , Savannah, GA: Photos taken by guests have revealed orbs, and for days one room stayed icy cold despite the heater. Alarms sounding and phones ringing inexplicably in the middle of the night and a baby's footprints appearing on the carpet are among the clues that former inhabitants are in residence. The original owners of the mansion had a son who suffered from dwarfism and died at an early age; clearly he's not yet ready to leave.
Marshall House , Savannah, GA: Opened in 1851, this inn was used as a hospital twice during Savannah's 19th-century yellow fever epidemics and during the Civil War by the Union Army. Are they former patients who've been reported in the hallways and in the foyer? We'll never know, but the Travel Channel has featured this inn on haunted hotel programs and specials. The Ghost Packages at The Marshall House are always a favorite.
Old Harbour Inn , Savannah, GA: Home to "Hank," guests have reported smelling cigar smoke when no smokers were present, experiencing things moving around, witnessing coins dropping on the floor, and more. Want to meet Hank the friendly ghost? Book one of two Haunted Hotel packages offered throughout the year.
Glen-Ella Springs Inn, Clarkesville, GA: Several unexplained incidents have been reported over the last 10 years. Unusual activity included guests reporting that they awoke to an old woman in 1800s-style clothes, standing in the room. The woman just stood quietly and then disappeared. Other ghostly occurrences include the opening of screen doors, lights fading on and off, music playing in empty rooms without radios, and voices heard in dark air.
Village Inn , Stone Mountain, GA: Both guests and owners are sure there is a ghost in residence here. There have been varied reports of lights mysteriously going out, ceiling fans running by themselves, and the occasional ghostly singing. It is presumed that a friendly spirit resides here, most likely a former resident who didn't want to leave.
Central Park Bed & Breakfast , Louisville, KY: Located in the heart of Central Park, where numerous ghost sightings have been reported, it's no wonder this 1884 mansion has a few friendly spirits still roaming the halls. Included in the twice-weekly local ghost tours, many a strange sighting has occurred in the flickering of gas lights outside.
5 Continents B&B , New Orleans, LA: In a city known for its ghosts, vampires and Voodoo culture, this inn promises not to disappoint guests with its offer to sleep with not only one spirit, but three. This 1890s Greek Revival Mansion has three resident ghosts, including a man said to have been a previous master of the house, a mysterious woman of color in a flowing white dress, and a very unusual part-time spirit in the kitchen area.
Avenue Inn B&B , New Orleans, LA: Beds move and shake in the night, singing can be heard coming from the old Nanny's quarters when no one is there, and strange power surges in computers have all been reported from this Queen Anne style mansion in the New Orleans Garden District. Once, during a wedding ceremony, loud knocking sounds came from the inn's dining room fireplace. Was it the wind or the original resident of the home signaling his approval? We'll never know.
Castle Inn of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA:
Creole Gardens , New Orleans, LA: Ghosts don't like change, and when this building was restored as an inn, 400-pound doors slammed for no apparent reason, and bathroom tiles that had been neatly stacked were found scattered about the floor. One guest reported a clear image of a former slave standing in the corner of the room with arms folded, apparently awaiting orders. Another guest reported a man visiting at night, speaking softly. Housekeepers report dark, flitting blurs, and a feeling of someone watching them.
Chretien Point Plantation , Sunset, LA: Odd and unexplained things happen every day at Chretien Point Plantation. Stories about hauntings include visits from a Civil War General and a lady with a flowing white dress gliding across the room. Flickering lights, alarms going off when clocks are unplugged, and the unexplained smell of cigar smoke are among the many tales heard on the self-guided ghost story tour of the plantation.
Magnolia Mansion , New Orleans, LA: Clearly, spirits here don't just come from Bourbon Street bars. Take off your slippers, and you may hear footsteps out in the hall pacing until you cover up your bare feet. Alarms, the quiet tinkling of a music box, overturned water glasses, and a little girl who visits in the night are all common evidences of the spirits residing here. Describing the inn as "hauntingly romantic," one woman had the covers pulled up around her by a "spirited" visitor while her husband slept soundly beside her. Account after account in the inn's guest books recount chance meetings with polite and friendly ghosts. Many a guest has captured their "other world" friends in photos of orbs and apparitions posted on the inn's website. Want an encounter with the inn's friendly ghosts? You must make your intention known upon entering. For the ultimate in Halloween weddings, book the Halloween Gothic Elopement/Wedding Package.
Asheville Seasons B&B, Asheville, NC: Grace is the former owner's great-grandmother who died at the inn. She's an extremely friendly apparition who just can't get enough good loving, today or in her past life. By the way, wherever Grace goes, her dog follows. Ever heard of a tail-wagging ghost? Perhaps it's her footsteps that innkeepers hear upstairs when no guests are there, perhaps it's the dog. Maybe both.
Twin Lakes Lodge , Greensboro, NC: Noted ghost-story writer John Hardin, author of Tar Heel Ghosts and The Devils Tramping Ground, lived in this home prior to its becoming an inn. Is it possible he got his ideas from spirits still hanging around? One guest reported a woman with a long flowing dress floating over the lake one night. Dismissing these visions as a dream, he awoke the next morning to find wet footsteps on his suite's otherwise dry deck, coming up over the railing and to the window. Another guest said the woman in the white flowing dress hummed to her at her bedside.
Carambola Inn B&B , Fuquay-Varina NC: The distinctive scent of perfume and a feeling of an unseen presence give believers in the third dimension the distinct impression that the former residents are still hanging around. One sighting included a friendly woman hovering about five inches off the ground. Come see for yourself.
Litchfield Plantation , Pawley's Island, SC: The Gun Room Suite is a two-room suite once used by former plantation owner, Dr. Tucker for his bedroom and examination room. Dr. Tucker was an avid hunter and gun collector, hence the name of the suite. His former gun racks now resemble library shelves and are stocked with books from the period. His friendly ghost is noted to make an occasional appearance now and then, just to make sure all's well at Litchfield Plantation.
Pinhook Plantation House B&B, Calhoun, TN: Tales of spirits abound here, including the "Lady in the Gray Gown" opening the front door and walking up the winding stairs, and a monk and other ghosts having a meeting in the Gathering Room late one night. A school teacher who formerly lived in the house brought her students to show them the rocking chair that frantically rocked, and then suddenly stopped as if someone got up.
Franklin-Pearson House, Cowan, TN: The Cowan area is widely known as a "hot spot" for ghost activity due to its rich, colorful history; this old railroad hotel is no exception and bustles with interesting yet harmless ghost activity. This Halloween, ghosts - including some from the "Old Hotel" - will be the topic of many stories told around candlelight dinners.
Prospect Hill B&B , Mountain City, TN: A visit here may reveal a glimpse of a shadow disappearing around the corner, the distinctive cry of a baby, firm leather shoes going up and down the stairs, or the unexplained shattering of bathroom glasses flying into the air. True to the Southern tradition, this friendly ghost loves to get into the bourbon, and reports of peanut butter cookies baking in the oven at all hours of the night also confirm its presence.
Black Horse Inn , Warrenton, VA: Four ghosts have been accounted for in this former Civil War hospital. The first is a woman believed to have been a nurse in the hospital, who is inclined to laugh only in gentlemen's ears. She is believed to be comforting them with her soft, kind laughter just as she did the soldiers she tended. The second ghost is known to the whole community as "The Dancer" because the tap, tap of his shoes is heard throughout the night as he dances at the top of the stairs. Another male ghost inhabiting the Burgundy Room makes an impression on the comforter each time he sits on the bed. And the Ghost of Christmas has tipped over the Christmas tree - breaking all the ornaments - each year for the past three years. The tree is now wired to the corner of the room.
Reynolds Tavern , Annapolis, MD: When you stay at Historic Reynolds Tavern, you may be cared for by the innkeepers, or by Mary Reynolds herself. Mary maintained the tavern until her death in 1785, yet some believe she has never left the building. Employees have heard her sing Christmas carols, experienced her "fixing" the grandfather clock in the dining room, and watched as she showed her dislike of new employees by breaking tea pots and glasses. The Maryland Ghost and Spirit Association confirmed her presence with photographs and temperature readings, and exclaimed that Mary is not alone; they identified a total of five spirits in the house.
Main Street Manor , Flemington, NJ: A strange presence has been felt by guests of the inn, including an expert on ghosts. One woman asked if a baby had been born in her room, feeling the presence of mother and daughter. While no actual sightings have been reported, guests feel an ethereal presence here.
Manchester Inn , Ocean Grove, NJ: Check in to room 316, and ghosts may literally pull your leg. It's been known to happen there, when a guest felt a tugging at her pants leg several times. Strange noises and disappearing shadows in the hallway are other indicators that friendly spirits inhabit this inn.
White Lilac Inn , Spring Lake, NJ: Many guests have smelled a floral scent on the staircase, always in the same place. The owners of the inn learned that former owner Sally Mann Randock Francis, now deceased, wore a floral perfume. Given the colorful nature of Sally Mann Randock Francis's life, it is believed that she's hanging on to insure guests share in the fun and frivolity that endured there during her lifetime.
Battle Island Inn B&B , Fulton, NY: Whispers of "hello" and a child calling "Mom!", baskets swinging on the walls, and placemats and forks moving from the table to a chair are just some of the games played by the welcoming ghosts. Within minutes of hearing the cry of the child for her mother, one doubting innkeeper found a game card on her lawn that read, "When did you come closest to believing in the supernatural?" Despite a recent rainfall, the card was in perfect condition.
Black Sheep Inn , Hammondsport, NY: At various times throughout the renovations of this inn, a man appeared looking down from windows or standing in doorways. He has always indicated his approval for the work being done on the house with nods or knocks on the wall. Recently, both a guest and the innkeepers awoke at the very same moment, feeling a friendly presence in the inn. Photos taken of the innkeepers show distinctive orbs.
Captain Schoonmaker's B&B , High Falls, NY: Starting with the comment, "a funny thing happened last night," guests often share tales of how a candle was lit, a light was turned on, or they heard footsteps when no one was there. In 1814, the 12-year-old son of the inn's namesake, a Revolutionary War hero, died and was buried outside the inn. As mischievous as young boys are, the theory is this little boy is hanging around still having a little fun.
Ancestors Inn , Liverpool, NY: Innkeepers Mary and Dan Weidman are quite sure that the original owners of this house are still present, glad to see a family return to what had been a dentist's office. Even though they turn off lights when they leave, the lights are always on to welcome guests to the inn. Door knobs rattle in the night though no one is present. What is most uncanny is that photos taken of the inn often do not come out, unless the innkeepers are included in them. A gentle spirit, who's identified himself as Tim to those who've seen him, takes care of arriving guests who feel ill. Those who've experienced these spirits say they are friendly and attentive.
1871 House , New York City, NY: One guest recounted a vivid story about awakening to find a well-dressed man wearing a bowler hat standing at the end of her bed. Strangely, she was not afraid and requested that he leave her alone. He slowly got up and left out the door, never to return.
Bucksville House , Kintersville, PA: Sightings at this 1795 Bucks County property include a man in a black hat who's been known to change the layout of the checkerboard and a woman in a white dress who visits the attic suite. This antique-filled B&B is also featured in the video "America's Most Haunted Inns."
Harry Packer Mansion , Jim Thorpe, PA: While the owners claim it's not spooky inside, the fa?ade of this pink mansion was used by Disney as a model for their haunted mansion. While ghost stories have been confined exclusively to the murder mysteries held here throughout the year, the owners are on the lookout for Disney personalities going bump in the night.
Cornerstone B&B , Philadelphia, PA: A sweet, floral scent precedes sightings of a ghostly female shape at the Cornerstone. Innkeepers claim she is an ethereal presence, and her signature perfume always occurs as she gently taps the foreheads of those at the inn. Some claim she's a resident angel; others feel she's a ghost.
Captain Grant's , Poquetanuck, CT: Visitors to this historic 1754 inn are told when they arrive that if they hear the loud knock at the door, they can answer if they like, but nobody will be there. Those who stay at the Adelaide Room are sure to have some contact with the mysterious woman and her two children who once lived there, whether it is through the TV turning on and off or the shower curtain continuously falling down. One guest even had her ChapStick levitate out of her purse on a recent visit. While visiting, take a tour of the local cemeteries, also known to house their own ghostly dwellers.
Penny House Inn , Eastham, MA: Home to the "Goodnight Ghost," along with other playful spirits, ghost stories from this inn are well documented in Haunted Houses of Cape Cod. One ghost named Charlotte loves to turn the music up full blast in the inn's on-site spa, so care is taken before every treatment to turn the music down. Charlotte loves the new spa, built in the oldest part of the inn dating back to 1690; her approval gives the spa positive energy.
Birchwood Inn , Lenox, MA: Certifiably haunted, the ghosts here date back to 1800. One guest swears a cat sat on his feet the first night, then it changed into a beautiful female apparition the second night. Few rooms at the inn have gone without ghost sightings. Come try your luck, and bring along some catnip.
Thaddeus Clapp House , Pittsfield, MA: Playwright Peter Bergman encountered the spirit that resides here when he was rehearsing a play in the B&B's drawing room, where the original owners held "parlor plays" in the 1800s. This friendly spirit is a former member of the Clapp family, doing its best to welcome guests to their beloved home. Info: 888-499-6840, www.clapphouse.com.
Nichols Guest House B&B , Seekonk, MA: Legend tells us that the original owner of this 200-year-old Colonial home took his own life. Shadows and strange sounds in the night, and lights mysteriously flickering on and off ensure that guests know that friendly spirits remain.
Colonial House Inn and Restaurant , Yarmouth Port, MA: There are many stories about haunted happenings at this inn. One guest recounted how he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder, and when he looked up he saw a transparent figure of a woman wearing a bonnet. A year or two after that, the same person staying in a different room felt pressure on his back; he saw a shadowy figure, very low to the ground, which quickly vanished from the room.
Coach Stop Inn , Bar Harbor, ME: The oldest lodging establishment on Mount Desert Island, this former tavern and coach stop is home to Abbe, a spirited little girl who loves music. Strange noises, flickering lights and fleeting reflections may be Abbe singing, or they may be additional spirits.
Greenville Inn , Greenville, ME: Last summer, a guest staying in the Carriage House Suite (an original part of the inn) reported in full detail about her encounter with a lovely young female ghost. The guest told of the sounds of the crinoline skirt swishing by, the cool breeze as the ghost passed by and the door she opened. She concluded her story by asking everyone to be kind to this ghost, since she was very sweet and lovely.
Berry Manor Inn , Rockland, ME: When paranormal visitors passed this historic four-diamond inn, they saw three smiling women in the front window with their pinkies in the air. Guests have reported an unusual warm feeling, attributing it to friendly spirits.
Captain Lindsey House , Rockland, ME: Captain Lindsey is still hanging around the Captain Lindsey House, along with 35 other spirits, according to what he told the "spiritologists" on their recent visit to the inn. Included in the band of happy ghosts is the Captain himself, along with T. B. Severence, the 41-year-old who purchased the inn from George Lindsey in 1857; a dominant spirit named Ensign; a 5-year-old named Jeffrey and a 4-year-old named Emmy, both of whom are waiting for their father to come and get them. The majority of the spiritual activity takes place in the parlor, where glasses of water slide across tables, and doors have been known to slam on their own.
LimeRock Inn , Rockland, ME: When experts of the paranormal visited the LimeRock Inn, they felt the presence of many people in the front parlor - vestiges of the patients who once sat in the parlor waiting room, when the inn was home and office to Dr. Lawry, the local physician. A number of giggling phantoms played at the top of the stairs. Many of the presences at the LimeRock Inn gaze longingly out the windows. All are friendly, and it's clear that happy family members are still hanging out here to welcome guests also in search of friendly spirits.
1794 WATCHTIDE...by the Sea , Searsport, ME: Spirits reside here playing music and pranks on innkeepers and guests. Their presence is gentle, and the innkeepers claim this is the perfect place to sleep with a spirit.
Carriage House Inn , Searsport, ME: Stories abound about the ghosts seen in the windows of this 1874 Victorian mansion. An expert on the paranormal verified there are at least two entities living here, both of whom experienced untimely deaths. The resident beagle shuns certain rooms and avoids the haunted staircase where someone died. The sounds of soft whispers, music, knocking, the smell of cigar smoke, and a feeling that "someone walked into my room" are common discussions at the breakfast table. For those who love a good ghoul, plenty of activity is guaranteed here.
Three Chimneys Inn , Durham, NH: Innkeeper Karen Meyer feels she has an "angel on her shoulder." One night, after a long week, she received a clear message from her guardian angel. The office door was mysteriously locked after a long day, a strange phenomenon since the office can only be locked with a key, and no one with keys had locked it. To emphasize the message, the office computer, which remains on at all times, was also turned off. "Time to go home and relax" was the angelic message.
Sugar Hill Inn , Franconia, NH: One evening, an elderly couple came to visit and then disappeared through a locked door. Shadowy sightings of a male figure have been seen in the kitchen too, where the original owner of the inn passed away. Could he be coming back to check on the inn's success? We'll never know.
Beal House , Littleton, NH: Slamming doors and late-night stomping up and down stairs allow the haunted dwellers of this inn to make their presence known. Another time, the housekeeper felt a distinct hip check from one side to another, as if someone was pushing her aside. One night, when two guests were sitting in front of the fire enjoying tea, they clearly heard voices. The innkeepers recount stories of seeing a woman beckon from the end of the bed during the night.
Inn at Jackson , Jackson, NH: Jason, once the trusted workman at the inn, committed suicide as a young adult yet returns to check on repairs at the inn. Guests have been awakened by a hammering noise, and the staff has caught glimpses of movement as they check on rooms, primarily on the second and third floor. Jason is a peaceful presence, bringing a smile to the innkeeper's face as he explains his comings and goings. Jason is not the only ghost; the water mysteriously turns on and off in Room Two, perhaps at the hand of a ghostly old man.
Brass Lantern Inn , Stowe, VT: Inn guests who've seen paranormal activity vary the details slightly, but they always hear the noises coming from the same guest room. Some report hearing people arrive late in the night, speaking loudly, and talking about the good time they just had at a party. Yet in all cases, no guests were staying in the guest room or even in a nearby room.
Green Mountain Inn , Stowe, VT: "Boots" Berry, the tap dancing ghost and former local hero, can still be heard dancing on the third floor of the inn during severe winter storms. The son of the inn's former horseman and chambermaid, Boots was born in Room 302 in 1840, and he grew up in and around the inn. One summer morning when the stagecoach team bolted, Boots bravely stopped a runaway stage, saving the lives of the passengers. Unfortunately, his heroism turned to too many congratulatory drinks, and Boots neglected his duties at the inn. Eventually he was dismissed and ended up in jail where he learned to tap dance, earning his nickname. Eventually, after jail, Boots drifted back to Stowe, shabby and poverty-stricken. At about the same time, a dreadful storm hit the town, and a little girl became stranded on the roof of the inn. Remembering his childhood days, Boots took a secret route to the roof and lowered the girl safely to the ground. Just as she reached safety, Boots slipped and fell to his death from the icy roof. His life had come full circle, for the roof he was standing on when he fell was the roof of Room 302. Want a chance to dance with Boots? Time your next visit with a winter storm and book Room 302.
Golden Stage Inn , Cavendish, VT: The innkeepers have become so familiar with the young friendly spirit who appears dressed in a traveling cloak and a large brimmed hat, that they've named him George. He appears often and sometimes plays tricks on the innkeepers. This Halloween, guests are invited to help decorate and come in disguise. Who knows, you might even get a glimpse of George.
