Orleans Waterfront Inn

3 Old County Rd, Orleans, MA 02653, United States

The Orleans Waterfront Inn is reputedly home to several spirits. The most prominent is 'Hannah,' said to have been a prostitute murdered on the premises during the Roaring Twenties when the building operated as a brothel. She is considered a benign presence, known for lighting candles, opening doors, and reportedly seen dancing nude in the fifth-floor belvedere window. Two other identified spirits include an 'Old lady spinster' who owned the Inn around the turn of the century, and 'Fred,' a bartender from the 1950s alleged to have taken his own life in the cupola. SyFy's Ghosthunters even investigated, reportedly communicating with Hannah.
