Delaware is one of the most haunted states in the Nation – and anyone who has visited Fort Delaware can verify there are spirits floating around everywhere. One of the eeriest places in the First State is a historic bed and breakfast in Bethany Beach. Check it out if you’re looking for a unique place to stay.
The gorgeous Addy Sea Inn was built in 1902 as a family's seaside estate.
The Addy family enjoyed their beach vacation spot, and when their family wealth took a hit during the Great Depression, they began to rent out rooms to travelers. Eventually, the Addy family estate became the Addy Sea Inn.
Twice, the wicked and wild seas forced the family to relocate their home.
Storm surges caused the house to be moved twice in the 1920s. The Addy Sea Inn now sits well back from the shore, safe from the rising tides.

This beautiful Bed and Breakfast has maintained much of its historic charm, with authentic furniture, artwork, and even a few spirits that hang around.
Three of the 13 rooms here are rumored to be haunted by guests and former employees who found the Addy Sea Inn so charming, they never wanted to leave.
Each room here is comfortable and tidy, with a Jacuzzi tub and a prime location just a short walk from the ocean. However, rooms #1, #6, and #11 each come with a bit of a bonus.
In Room 1, the bathtub has been known to shake for no known reason. Room 6 is a great room for musicians, because lovely organ music fills the air to lull guests off to sleep. It's quite a unique feature, as there are no organs on the property. In Room 11, the phones turn on and off, and the Jacuzzi tub seems to have a mind of its own.
Don't let a fear of ghosts keep you from enjoying one of Delaware's finest getaways, though.
