Soooo…he's decided to go public again so he can advertise their Inn.  This guy is just so transparent.  Last I looked the one Mt. Washington engagement was still not sold out.  I suspect their Inn won't be either.

From what I've gathered here nothing had ever been said about the Spaulding being haunted.

I tried clicking on the links above and this popped up on each one.  Hilarious!  Looks like Grant is still having a hard time all around.  I couldn't make this stuff up:

The link you are trying to visit has been disabled.

You have reached a link that is no longer in service. That means the link was very naughty, and, much like head lice, had to be eliminated before it spread.

You may be asking yourself, 'Hey, what was it about that link that got it in trouble?' An excellent question! Usually, it's one of the following reasons:

-      The link was spam! No one likes spammers, and we don't like their links.

-      You almost got phished! There are people out there who want to steal your MySpace password. They want to log in as you and send spam, harass your friends, change your profile, and generally run amok. Phishing pages are usually designed to look like MySpace to trick you. Other sites may also ask for your MySpace login information to customize your profile, insert videos or slide shows, track visitors, or any number of other things.Don't make it easy for them. ONLY USE YOUR MYSPACE LOGIN INFO ON http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM!!

-      Viruses are not fun! Neither is adware, spyware, or malware. We cut the links to places that are known sources of infection.

If you really did want to check out some spam, viruses, or phishing pages, we're really sorry to have interrupted. We're sure you can find it elsewhere. There's plenty on the Internet

You brought up some good points.  Although maybe the Mt. Washington Hotel is chummy with Jay and Grant-after all, they are making their establishment famous-and doesn't mind the smaller competition for rooms.

According to the TAPS home page, the April 17th event is still not sold out, whereas the later one is.   I find that odd but I'm sure there is a good explanation for it.

Does anyone else have the feeling this business endeavor might not live up to their expectations?  Perhaps it would have helped more if the Inn actually had reports of being haunted, not just their say so.

Here's a 1980s video advertising the Inn.  You don't have to bother watching the whole 11 minutes–to me it's pretty boring but it does show the Inn and its location.  However, absolutely NO mention of any hauntings.  That seems to be an invention of Jay and Grant to try and pull in customers.

Hannah, good observation.

"Reported to be haunted" – by whom?

"Said to be haunted" – by whom?

And who are the bunch of people that seemed to have them convinced the place COULD be haunted?

We want sources.  Articles, interviews, anything.  Instead we get maybe, could, might be….

It's going to take more than the words of Jay and Grant to prove that there is even any indication of possible haunted activity, especially since I watched a boring 11 minute promo made in the 1980s video which made no mention whatsover of this possibility.

Or do they think just their names alone will fill the rooms?  Only time will tell.
