  • The Shanley Hotel, is a bed and breakfast style hotel that operates all year long in Napanoch, NY.
  • Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, NY. This hotel is a grand estate that is said to have been the inspiration behind the Overlook Hotel in the movie The Shining. This hotel dates back to 1869. There apparently are people that think it is haunted and others say that there has never been proof. Have you ever stayed there?
  • Marist College, Sheahan Hall. Yes, Marist College -- the one on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie. Apparently, there was a female student, who was killed in this hall in 1975 by someone whose affections she did not return. Have you been to this hall?
  • Hoyt House in Staatsburg. This house dates back to 1855 and is also known as "The Point." The house has been recently purchased with hopes of restoring it. According to hauntedplaces.org, the family that originally owned the home all committed suicide in the house. Is that true?

You never know what you might find, or what might find you!
