Faneuil Hall Marketplace
"Faneuil Hall"
Coordinates: 42.360189°, -71.055114°
Location Address: 4 S. Market Street, Boston, Massachusetts
Faneuil Hall in Boston, Massachusetts was constructed in 1742 as a town marketplace and business hub for merchants to sell goods and other products, such as meat and produce. African slaves brought to the United States were also auctioned off at Faneuil Hall for a short time, however slavery became illegal in the state of Massachusetts during the 1780's. The building also included a large room on its second floor which was used as a meeting hall by New England colonists to discuss town issues and other business. It was rebuilt after a large fire in March of 1761, at which point it was expanded to almost double its original size. The historic location was also used by many of America's founding fathers to deliver important speeches, and rally patriot militia forces during the American Revolution. It was later given the nickname, "The Cradle of Liberty," and was used for town meetings until 1822. Devine's Irish Pub, located within the Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall, is said to be haunted by the spirit of a dark-skinned woman wearing old, Colonial-era clothing. She is believed to have been a former African slave who died under mysterious circumstances, and whose identity is unknown. She is also believed to be responsible for a variety of unexplained paranormal phenomena at the pub, such as objects being moved around or rearranged by an unseen entity, or sudden cold spots and drops in temperature. Another spirit said to haunt the Quincy Market area of Faneuil Hall is that of a man named Victor Hendrickson, who was killed in 1907 in a heavy machinery accident while working at Ames Plow Company, which occupied a large portion of the market from 1862 until 1909. An article published by The Boston Globe in September of 1907 reports that Victor Hendrickson was killed at the age of thirty-five when his shirt became caught in a piece of rotating machinery, causing him to be dragged through the machine, and breaking every bone in the man's body. When an autopsy was performed on the man's disfigured and partially dismembered corpse, it was unable to be determined if he was crushed to death, or if he later died of strangulation when the machine caused the vest he was wearing to become so tightly wound around his neck that he was nearly decapitated. Ever since his death, Victor Hendrickson's mutilated apparition has reportedly been seen by shoppers at Faneuil Hall, or others walking on the streets nearby at night. Others report hearing the sounds of disembodied screams, and feeling a strange presence. Many also report encountering a number of other unidentified apparitions and shadow figures, with some also claiming that the location is haunted by five Boston men who were killed by British troops on nearby State Street on March 5, 1770, in an event that later became known as The Boston Massacre.

Constructed in 1927, the Omni Parker House is a historic hotel located in Boston, Massachusetts, and is said to be one of the most haunted hotels in New England. It is said to be haunted by the spirit of Harvey Parker, who founded the hotel, as well as the spirits of several other unidentified men and women. Guests at the Omni Parker House report witnessing orbs and apparitions, as well as hearing disembodied voices, and feeling the presence of an unseen entity. The third floor of the Omni Parker House Hotel is also said to be haunted by the spirit of the American actress Charlotte Cushman, who died of pneumonia while staying at the hotel, and the novel 1408 was allegedly based on events experienced by author Stephen King while staying in Room 303, where a former guest committed suicide. Employees at the Omni Parker House Hotel also report witnessing elevators opening and closing by themselves, and unexpectedly stopping at the third floor, as well as experiencing other unexplained paranormal phenomena, such as lights flickering, and bathroom faucets turning on and off by themselves.
