TNS — Are you looking for more than just a brief ghost tour?
Then maybe consider staying a night or two in one of the country’s supposedly most haunted hotels, one of which is located right here in Pennsylvania.
The Historic Hotels of America — a program that’s part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation — sent out a list via press of the top 25 most haunted hotels in the country as of 2023.
Nestled among those 25 is the Sayre Mansion in Bethlehem, which is described by Discover Lehigh Valley as a 19th century “home and former residence of Robert Sayre,” who was “the chief engineer of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.”
It’s Sayre’s ghost along with several others that are said to still walk the halls of the mansion, although these spirits are more “mischievous” than malicious, according to the release.
“Employees and guests report experiencing tugs at their clothing that cannot be explained,” reads the release. “A maintenance tech was alone repairing a toilet when a small washer suddenly disappeared and ended up across the room and under the bath.
“It seems as if a playful ghost wanted to start a game of hide and seek!”
Other hotels that made it onto the list were the Hilton Baton Rouge Capital Center in Louisiana and the Hotel Saranac in Saranac Lake, N.Y.
