Haunted bed and breakfast

[@MarySpain1958]

Grew up in Roanoke Va 2 hotels are haunted. I worked at Hotel Roanoke experienced something so I went to the book store and found a book about another hotel - Patrick Henery which changed hands was remolded and maybe renamed. Moved away yrs ago idk.but it was a hotel run by a family in 50's - 70 's sold reminded back then .Family use to live there. It was a hotel frequented by airline employees and they had stories of ghosts in the hotel. 1 room ppl report ghosts coming down stairs that no longer existed after 1970's remodeling and ghosts same room walking threw walls.the book was found at Books a Million store before they closed

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks so much for sharing that @MarySpain1958! We love hearing about our listeners experiences. Have you been to any of these other haunted sites in WV?

[@FrankGhal]

Thats a different state

[@BarbarisII]

Hotel Roanoke is awesome, I've been there twice to stay for work things and I haven't noticed anything. But it's a big building, don't take my word for it!

[@Jamiescarlett84]

The asylum in the 30s caught on fire, many lost their lives, they just added on. Our friend who is a sheriff hauls passed it, it could be sunny, and over there dark. A little girl Sally lost her young life..

[@FrightNightScares]

Thanks for checking out this video @Jamiescarlett84. Have you gotten a chance to visit the asylum yourself?!?

[@Mithras444]

We went to Lake Shawnee as kids. I never knee at the time it was haunted. We used to go out on the water and smoke weed. Once we tipped it and I saved the bag and we recovered. We did a lot of stupid stuff back then.😅

[@FrightNightScares]
