Haunted Mason House Inn
Do you like haunted hotels?
Do you like trains?
I know they dont really go together logically do they?
Well they do if youre at the Mason House Inn Bentonsport Iowa.
The Mason House Inn is a cool old haunted hotel with tons of ghostly activity. And if youre just a bit weary of the ghosts keeping you up at night you can always stay in their caboose lodgings.
There.
See?
Haunted hotels and trains do go together!
Mason House Inn was built in 1846 as a hotel for the steamboat travelers on the Des Moines River. Thats a lot of time for a place to acquire ghosts!
And they have a few. Theyre usually pretty active too.
Theres an old lady by the fireplace in the dining room.
Theres a boy in knickers on the second floor landing who likes to wave to people. Dont see him? Wave anyway youll make him happy!
A man was murdered in Room 7. He was just a traveler who had visited a local tavern and well had a bit too much to drink since he tried to climb in a bed that wasnt his. Surprise surprise. The man already occupying the bed took exception to the intrusion and promptly stuck a saber in the intruders heart. The instant making of a ghost!
Theres also a lot of normal ghostly activity like orbs in pictures dont forget your camera! foggy images in mirrors doors opening and closing by themselves footsteps when no one is there all sorts of things ghosts like to do to make their presence known.
And whats more you can take a ghost hunting class at the Mason House Inn too. Yep a real live ghost hunting class at a real live haunted hotel.
Way cool!
And whats this about caboose lodgings?
Well they also have a caboose you can stay the night in. Its one where you can climb up into the cupola too. A lot of caboose lodgings dont have that little extra added bonus. So this one is special with a little table up in the cupola too!
Wow! A haunted hotel and a caboose too. What an adventure!
