Episode 130: Hotel Bethlehem

Author: Lisa Estes December 24, 2023 Duration: 38:59

This Christmas Eve we are taking you to the "Christmas City" of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. This was once rated the number one historic hotel in the country, and they embrace their many spirits. A stay in room 932 may take you to another realm.


Ever wondered what it's actually like to spend the night somewhere with a permanent, spectral guest? Your Haunted Holiday isn't just about ghost stories; it's about the layers of history and human experience that make a place feel alive long after its original inhabitants are gone. Hosted by twin sisters Lisa and Lindsay Estes, this podcast feels like a conversation with friends who are equally fascinated by the past and the peculiar. Each episode focuses on a specific haunted hotel, inn, or historic house you could actually book for a stay. Lisa and Lindsay dig into the architecture and the documented events that shaped these locations, weaving in firsthand accounts from staff, owners, and sometimes even past guests who've had unexplained encounters. You'll get a sense of the atmosphere, from the creak of a floorboard to the chill in a particular room, making it perfect for planning a trip or simply enjoying a strange tale from the comfort of your couch. It’s a unique blend of travelogue and paranormal exploration, grounded by the sisters' genuine curiosity. Tune in to hear why some vacations come with more than just souvenirs.
