North Carolina is a state that’s full of history, and with anything that’s saturated in history, you’re bound to have a few hauntings here and there. If you’re a believer in the paranormal, then you have to book a stay at this charming little inn that’s situated right on the coast. From beautiful views to historical significance, this little haunted North Carolina hotel is worthy of a road trip.

Located in the beautiful coastal town of Southport, North Carolina, the Brunswick Inn dates back to the mid-1800s.

The Federal-style mansion overlooks the picturesque Cape Fear River, offering visitors a chance to relax on the porch and watch the sailboats float by.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel like you’ve been transported through time.

All of the rooms are furnished with period furniture and accessories, and have wonderful water views.

It's the perfect place to go when you need to unwind and spend some time relaxing.

Just remember that you might not be their only guest. There’s always someone staying at the historic Brunswick Inn in Southport, North Carolina.

The permanent resident at this historically haunted hotel goes by the name Tony. Tony died in 1882 while visiting from New York. He and his brother and a few friends went out sailing and the boat tragically sank. He didn’t go far though, because his presence is frequently felt by the owners and multiple guests.

A harpist by trade, a prankster in the afterlife, Tony has an affiliation with women’s jewelry, underwear, and socks. You may find that your earrings have relocated from where you left them, or your dresser drawer is open when you wake up.

The owner’s don’t seem too bothered by their resident guest, though. Although he has never been seen, it’s pretty common to hear him walking around the rotunda or up the stairs. He’s even been known to lock and unlock doors after they’ve been secured.
