In this episode, we uncover the ghostly tales and rich history behind the iconic Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, Massachussettes. From its founding by the ambitious Harvey Parker in 1855 to its legendary guests and haunting paranormal claims, this hotel has a story worth telling.
We’ll dive into the paranormal claims, including the ghost of Harvey Parker himself, who is often seen on the hotel’s ninth and tenth floors. What could be drawing him to those areas, even though they didn’t exist in his time? We’ll explore eerie reports of rocking chair sounds that keep guests awake and smiling apparitions spotted in hotel rooms.
Join us as we also delve into the floors where guests have smelled unexplained cigar smoke, seen shadowy figures of Charles Dickens, and even experienced the hotel’s elevator moving on its own. As we trace the haunted history of this storied hotel, we’ll share which rooms and floors are most likely to give you a ghostly encounter!
