Haunted Lake Lure Inn

Welcome!

A few weeks ago, Greg and I met some of our family members at hauntingly (literally!) beautiful Lake Lure, North Carolina.

Lake Lure is a wonderful place for recreational activities such as boating and hiking. Also, you can dine, relax, and just have fun.

And, if you're into the paranormal, there are two places to spend the night that are supposed to be haunted.

One is the "Lodge on Lake Lure." We've never stayed there, but according to some sources, this place is very haunted.

The other haunted inn is "The 1927 Lake Lure Inn & Spa." We've stayed there twice, and we believe it is haunted. The first time we stayed there was last year. I wrote a blog post about it, "The Haunting Lure of a Lake" (7/4/15) which you might want to check out.

The inn doesn't try to hide the fact that it is haunted, as you can see from this newspaper article that is on display in the lobby-

Several people, including workers at the inn, as well as visitors, have seen and heard some very strange things there.

Perhaps the most notable evidence of a ghost is a photo taken during a wedding reception several years ago which shows the ghostly figure of either a man or a boy.

Here's the link to the above-mentioned photo and more info on the two haunted Lake Lure inns which you might find chillingly interesting!-

Also, I want to let you know about a little-known Halloween event that our sister-in-law Cris told us about. It's the "Halloween Weekend on Mackinac Island" at which time there are sales going on at their downtown shops, as well as "epic" costume parties, and "chilling" ghost tours. It looks intriguing and fun! Greg and I are considering going next year.

For a search of this annual event, just type in "Halloween Weekend on Mackinac Island."

Hope you had a happy Halloween!

And, hope you have a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Thanks for visiting! Until, Saturday, December 3, 2016, Becky

The Haunting Lure of a Lake

Welcome!

Great to have you back!

Greg and I had a close encounter or two with the spirit world during these past few weeks, as we usually do!

Not long ago, we met some family members in beautiful Lake Lure, North Carolina.  We stayed at lovely "The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa" where the stars and crew of the hit movie, "Dirty Dancing" stayed while filming was going on.

The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa

Our sister-in-law who is really into the paranormal as we are, was staying with her husband at another place at Lake Lure that she knew was haunted.  We had wanted to spend the night there, as well, but we were unable to get a room, so we ended up at the 1927 Inn.

I had told Greg before we left for Lake Lure, that I bet our place would be haunted, too, that Patrick Swayze, the star of "Dirty Dancing," probably haunts that place.  We found out that apparently, the inn is haunted!

We were fortunate enough to have been just down the hall from a room that was supposed to be haunted, number 217, since a murder-suicide had taken place there.  Once, a guest even left that room early, during the night.  Animals that have stayed in the room don't seem to like it, as they nervously pace the floor until they can leave.

And, close by, was the suite, number 215, where Patrick Swayze stayed.  Although no one said anything about his suite being haunted, a couple of pictures I took outside his door had some ectoplasm.  Whether the ectoplasm was just a spillover from the nearby haunted room or not is anyone's guess.

Left, the "Haunted" Room, and at the End of the Hall, Patrick Swayze's Suite

I would't be surprised if Patrick Swayze's ghost was right there, though, because I can see how anyone who had stayed there would want to haunt that fabulous place!  It's a little bit of heaven on earth!

The people in charge of the inn are not shy about it being haunted as you can read about the paranormal goings-on in the lobby, and/or talk with an employee who has had first-hand encounters with the spirit world.

We got to talk with another Patrick, the events coordinator, at the inn, who  had captured a ghost boy on his camera during a wedding there.  We were fortunate that we got to see the photo with the distinct ghostly image.  Patrick was very lucky (and gifted!) because capturing an apparition on camera is a rare event!

That wasn't all!  Patrick also told us that he'd also been touched on the shoulder three different times there at the inn.

In addition, a housekeeper had seen an apparition in a white dress that even spoke to her.

Several other paranormal events have happened there, as well.

We got paranormal grids in several of the mirrors there (in the ladies' room, the hallway, and even the haunted room [My sister-in-law and I asked the guest staying in that room if we could take a couple of pictures of his room since it was supposed to be haunted.  He was a good sport about it, but said he'd not tell his wife that it was haunted as she would want to leave.  It would be interesting to see how they got through the night!]  There was nothing paranormal going on in Greg's and my mirror [or room], so we had a good night's sleep!)

Another reason there is so much spirit activity going on there is perhaps because it was a hospital for a time.

Anyway, if you'd like to go visit a fantastic place that has it all (even ghosts!), you might want to take a trip to haunting Lake Lure, North Carolina!
