Description:
For the jaded traveler who wants a room with atmosphere, for whom vibrant sunsets are old hat, for whom the sound of the surf is passé, Robin Mead has a splendid idea: spend the night with a ghost. His guide to haunted hotels in Canada and the U.S. covers 27 states, 3 territories, and 83 possessed lodgings. Mead presents the usual hotel descriptions in a more entertaining than usual style, complete with address, contact numbers, and hotel facilities. But Mead also launches into a history of each hotel and a profile of its supernatural guest(s). From Old Seth Bullock in South Dakota's Bullock Hotel to the Radisson Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, whose specter is none other than Marilyn Monroe, Mead's ghosts add a certain something not found in most hotel brochures. No real horror stories, however, are involved. The worst accusation comes from Maine's Kennebunk Inn where some honeymooners claimed the ghost of Silas Perkins made their bed collapse. Were it not for Kennebunk's numerous other sightings, it would have been written off as just a likely story. --Stephanie Gold
