The Grenville Hotel
345 Main Ave., Bay Head, New Jersey
The Grenville Hotel came to life in 1890.
The Grenville is known as one of the most luxurious summer hotels that populated the shore during the late nineteenth century.
For many families it would become an annual voyage to stay at the Grenville and enjoy its cool ocean shore.
Today, the Grenville still operates, and is creating more memories for visiting guests. While most guests enjoy a quiet uneventful stay, some come away with a story of how they encountered one of Grenville's ghosts.
The employees of Grenville have many stories about the ghosts they have encountered in Grenville's hallways and lobby. Employees have stated that they have heard the sound of footsteps in rooms that are unoccupied, and also stomping down hallways in which they are alone. Many have stated the sound of children, playing and laughing, can be heard throughout the lobby, typically at night. Like the disembodied footsteps, the sound of children has also been heard traveling down the hallways.
Guests have experienced the same phenomena as the employees, however, some have encountered strange ghostly occurences in their rooms. Some guests have claimed to see apparitions of people dressed in nineteenth century clothing walking through their rooms. Others have said that they have witnessed an impression in their beds as if someone were laying there.
