    The Shanley Hotel

    NapanochUnited States1845 (Existing structure 1895)

    Located on Main Street in Napanoch, New York, The Shanley Hotel is a famed 19th-century Victorian inn widely considered one of the most actively haunted hotels on the East Coast. Purchased in 1906 by Irish immigrant James Shanley, the building suffered multiple tragic deaths, including the infant deaths of all three of Shanley's children and the accidental drowning of a neighbor's daughter in an on-site well. Prominently featured on television shows like Ghost Hunters and Ghost Lab, the hotel offers overnight ghost hunts where guests routinely experience poltergeist activity, disembodied footsteps, shadow figures, and laughter.
