In the middle of night, guests have complained of a ‘strange’ presence in their rooms. Some reports include the apparition of a woman who supposedly haunts the premises.
Bush House , Salem
In Salem, there is a former residence (known as Bush House), which now serves as an art gallery. It is said that a ghost that dates back from the turn of the century calls this space her stomping grounds. Legend has it that a young woman who was a victim of schizophrenia was held against her will in the basement of the home, as her family were too ashamed to have her seen in public.

The owners of the gallery have a few residents who dwell in the upstairs portion of the establishment and have received reports that the ghost of a woman will play around with their thermostat.

Built in 1907 , the Hot Lake Hotel is a resort that possessed the curative powers of hot springs.

On the premises, there have been reports of odd piano playing when the instrument didn’t even exist in the building. In the hallways, strange footsteps were detected. A great deal of people believes some of the odd occurrences to take place here are because of a gardener who is said to have hung himself behind the hotel. A wide range of strange accidents has been also known to take place at this site.
