Inn BoonsBoro is described as haunted by "playful" ghosts, with alleged paranormal activity including mysteriously closing doors, unusual noises, cats crossing beds, and showers turning on by themselves. The historic inn, originally the Eagle Hotel and dating to the late 1700s, was rebuilt after a 2008 fire and is owned by authors Nora Roberts and Bruce Wilder, who are known to have related stories of the inn's ghostly inhabitants. Guests and inn officials have reported doors closing on their own. Mysterious and unexplained sounds are said to occur. A ghostly cat is rumored to linger, sometimes seen crossing beds. Showers have reportedly turned on without anyone present in the room. The inn is a historic structure that dates back to the late 1790s.
