Welcome to the Hawthorne Hotel, located in Salem, MA, known for being one of the most haunted hotels in the US.
The Hawthorne Hotel is named after the famous author, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and located near his birthplace on Union Street. The Hawthorne hotel officially opened its doors to the public on July 21, 1925. However, before opening their doors is where they’re haunted history begins. 👻
It is said that the building that is now known as the Hawthorne Hotel, experienced multiple fires 🔥 which finally left the building in ruins in 1860. This led architects to reconstruct the building in 1863, where it caught fire again a year later in 1864.
The residents of Salem then decided that they wanted this building to be the hotel that would attract visitors to Salem, later naming it the Hawthorne Hotel. 🏨
For some of you, this hotel may seem familiar to you because it is where they filmed the series Bewitched: The Salem Saga in 1970. 🧙♀️
Some say that the Hawthorne Hotel resides on an apple orchard that was owned by Bridget Bishop, the first woman that was executed during the Salem Witch trials for practicing magic. 🪄
Guests have reported to have encountered her spirit in the Hotel, as well as a strong scent of apples 🍎. It is also said that the most haunted rooms are room 325 and 612, where it has been reported that a spirit roams the halls at night, furniture moving, and noises such as flushing toilets and the water faucets turning on. 👻
The Hawthorne Hotel is a must stay, especially during Halloween, if you love the paranormal or enjoy ghost hunting! You can also join a ghost hunt or a tour of the hotel if you don’t plan on staying the night! 🌙
The Hawthorne Hotel also hosts an annual Halloween Ball that you shouldn’t miss! It will be held on October 23, 2021 and you must be 21+! 🎃
