Still relishing in our recent NYC weekend, a t noticed that Garance Dore posted an inspiration photo from The Maritime Hotel. It looked like she was there the weekend after us (crazy!). The other t checked out her post, clicked around a bit and behold ... Garance mentioned she heard The Maritime Hotel is haunted (and perhaps that is why she sleeps so well there). What!!!!
Both t's sprung into action and did some research. Sure enough, it is true! Reports are that The Maritime Hotel has some strange happenings going on specifically on Floors 2 and 10. We were on Floor 4 (whew). The main reports are of children's voices being heard and even a sighting of children doing jump rope in the hallway. Some visitors have actually called the front desk asking for a new room because the kids are too loud. Thinking it is the children of other guests and not knowing what is actually going on.
Here's the funny part. As we were getting ready Saturday morning to head to the Brooklyn Flea one t comments how she woke up in the middle of the night. It sounded like someone was typing on an old fashioned typwriter all night long. Type, type, type followed by the traditional DING when you return to go down a line. Type, type, type, DING! The other t did not hear it (probably due to all the booze consumed that night). Both brushed it off but thought it was odd.
After hearing the hotel could be haunted, both t's raised an eyebrow remembering the typing sounds, could it be? Who would possibly bring a traditional typewriter into a hotel and sit up all night and type.
We have concluded that when researching hotels (especially old ones) you have to check out the bed bug registry and also the ghost registry! No joke. I was poking around and found out that The Equinox Inn located in Manchester Center, VT is said to be haunted. That is where the t's went for their first girls weekend 4 years ago!!!
Spooky stuff!
