You'll Never Forget A Night In This Uniquely Terrifying Maine Inn
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
In the course of writing daily articles, we’ve come across a variety of ghost stories and tales to keep us awake at night. Some of them we give to you here and others are just too strange to write about. Each time an article of this type is published, we receive emails and comments asking us where the most haunted places in Maine really are. Seems our readers don’t want to merely read about these things, they want to experience them first-hand. So, with October approaching, we went searching for the perfect opportunity. Boy-oh-boy did we find it! If you’re looking for the creepiest hotel stay in all of Maine, check out the crypt at the Inn at the Agora in Lewiston.


The home served at the church rectory until October 2009, when St. Patrick's Church closed its doors.
But, wait. That doesn't sound especially scary. JUST WAIT. We're getting there.


One of the best things about this property is the crypt that comes along with it. The body of the original builder and priest, Thomas Wallace, laid inside the building for about a century after his death. It was only until the closing of the church in 2009 that his body was moved to a cemetery in nearby Bangor. This original crypt still sits, waiting for curious guests to come looking.



While the overall fear factor included here is high, we love that the Inn is a lovely place in every other area. Appointed with contemporary features and a light and airy feel, you'd never guess that one of the scariest nights of your life can be experienced right here within the walls.

If you’d like to be informed of the progress so you can book a night, email the Innkeeper, Jan Barrett, directly at info@innattheagora.com. She’s promised to email all those who inquire with progress updates. To speak to the inn directly about booking one of their lovely rooms, give them at call at 855-552-4672. They’re located at 1 Walnut Street in Lewiston, ME 04240
