Pine Bush House B&B
“If you are looking for an experience that goes beyond the ordinary – all the way to the other side! – than I highly recommend a stay at the Pine Bush House B&B,” says Linda Zimmermann, Author of the Ghost Investigator series, and Hudson Valley Haunts. This Halloween season, participate in Pine Bush House’s Ghost Tour & Psychic Reading where local psychic Barbara Roth will take you through the house and tell the tales of the spirits that roam the halls. She’ll tell you which rooms are haunted and much more. End the tour with your personal 20-minute psychic reading. Part of the Haunted History Trail of New York State, Pine Bush is a proven hot-spot for paranormal activity.
Bechtel Victorian Mansion Bed and Breakfast Inn
Bechtel Victorian Mansion Bed and Breakfast Inn in East Berlin, PA is located in one of the most haunted areas of the U.S. With deep Civil War roots, specifically the Battle of Gettysburg, the area is notorious for sightings and unexplained events. A visit to the area this Halloween season gives visitors the choice of eight haunted attractions including: Mourning Theatre, Ghost Lab, Candlelight Walking Tours and Paranormal Investigations. Some attractions will keep visitors in town with stories of recurring spirits, some will take them inside haunted houses and others will lead visitors to the sites where paranormal activity has been reported. But you won’t escape the paranormal upon return to The Bechtel Victorian Mansion, their spirits may or may not visit overnight guests. The most active ‘permanent resident’ is Flossie, who often sneaks around stealing cigarettes, rearranging personal items on the bureau and rattling doors.
