Haunted Houses: Queen’s Hotel in Cape May, NJ
If you’re the type of person who’s always in search of spookie places to stay, here’s one that might appeal to you. Queen’s Hotel in Cape May, NJ is the site of several paranormal manifestations that might give you goosebumps in the night.
This beautiful victorian bed and breakfast was built back in 1876. To the casual observer it was simply a respectable business called Ware’s Pharmacy. Behind the scenes, however, things were a little spicier. Think: gambling and prostitution.
In 1878, however, a huge fire raged through the town and took Ware’s Pharmacy down with it, giving builders a chance to remake the building into a roomier one that could accomodate all “businesses”.
So what’s all this got to do with ghosts?
Well, if you happen to have stayed at Queen’s Hotel at any point, you may be familiar with any of the following creepyness:
-
On the third floor, the entity of a young prostitute haunts the rooms.
-
The strong aroma of perfume waifs throughout the third floor rooms at times.
-
Cold spots are felt by the living.
-
Objects and furniture seem to move by themselves.
-
Her entity gives little bumps / pushes women as it passes them in the hallways; guests she feels jealous of.
-
For chuckles, she also bumps into the beds.
So! If you’re looking to freak yourself (or a loved one out), make sure you land yourself on the third floor. The ghost seems to stick only to that area. Makes sense, since the brothel was restricted to the third floor.
Eeeeerie.
