Haunted Hotel: Carolina Inn in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

By Charlyn Keating Chisholm, About.com

The Story:
The ghost is believed to be that of Dr. William Jacocks, who lived at the Inn for nearly 20 years.
The Haunting:
Guests who stay in the second-floor room that was once the home of Dr. Jacocks often find themselves locked out. At one time, the room's door had to be removed from its hinges because it wouldn't budge. Paranormal researchers have collected video and audio of ghostly happenings in this hotel, including piano notes, softly spoken words, and an orb-like object floating in the air.
Hunting for Ghosts:
Professional ghost hunter Christopher Moon recently held a "Ghost Hunting University" event at the Carolina Inn: Mr. Ghost Comes to Town
