Haunted Hotel in the Boston Area #2: Omni Parker House Hotel

60 School St.
Boston, MA 02108

The Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston opened in 1855. It is located just outside of Boston Common is less than two blocks from the Massachusetts State House. The hotel's restaurant is almost as famous as the hotel itself. It is the home of the world's first Boston Cream Pie and it is also the place where the future U.S. President John F. Kennedy proposed to the future First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline Bouvier. This hotel is great for people who want to step out of their hotels into the historic streets of Boston during the day, eat the delicious food of the hotel's historic restaurant in the evening and be spooked by the hotel's ghost at night.

Harvey Parker, the original owner of the hotel and restaurant is said to live there still, in ghostly form. Sightings of this long-dead man have dwindled in the past 20 years. However, there have reportedly been several sightings of him on the tenth floor of the hotel. Parker's ghost is supposedly polite and unobtrusive, aside from his habit of making unannounced appearances in guest's rooms on the tenth floor.
