The look of fear explained.

Our guidebook suggested the Grey Whale Inn, a "comfortable family-run inn...situated in a historic building." What the guide book doesn't say, however, is that the building is creeeeepy.

Despite our gut feeling, we approached the inn, because we wanted to not judge a book by its cover...blah, blah, blah. It turned out to be a bed & breakfast that was already closed for check-in, which was fine because when I turned to walk away, I spotted proof of the aforementioned creepiness.

Turns out that this little inn used to be a hospital, a fact they proudly display on a plaque outside the building. Now, I'm no Tangina Barrons, but an old building + steps that creak + no lights + a former life as a house for the ill = one scary night that I'll have to relive in my very own episode of "Ghost Hunters." No thanks. Plus, we saw a dead racoon as we were driving away and that's never a good sign.

Now, we're chillin' in a room at the Emerald Dolphin Inn, where the creepiest thing is Sue Ellen's insistence on watching a SyFy show on the " New Jersey Devil."
