Coordinates: 42.350079°, -71.091504°
Location Address: 4 Charlesgate East, Boston, Massachusetts, 02215 Constructed in 1901 as The Charlesgate Hotel, The Charlesgate in Boston, Massachusetts was bought by Boston University in 1947 for use as a women's dormitory, and in 1994 was sold again and converted into luxury condos. The old brownstone building is said to be haunted by several spirits, including one man who committed suicide with a revolver in March of 1908, as well as a young girl who was crushed to death in the building's elevator shaft. One urban legend claims that several men were killed in the basement during a flood, and another claims that the hotel was used during the early 1900's as a meeting place for a satanic cult to perform dark rituals. Residents at The Charlesgate often report witnessing spirits, orbs, and apparitions, as well as experiencing a variety of other paranormal activity, such as disembodied voices, and feeling the presence of an unseen entity in certain areas. Those who enter the basement also report experiencing unexplained feelings of paranoia and fear that subside upon leaving the location.
