Haunted New York

New York in autumn feels both festive and unsettled: something about the changing weather makes us curious about the cycle of life and death. It’s the perfect time to reflect upon all the feet that have walked these streets before us, and all of the eyes that have watched the city evolve. Some of these eyes seem to still be watching us. You can scarcely walk a block in Manhattan without encountering a haunted landmark.

The Haunted Chelsea Hotel

But things could be worse: you could be staying at the Chelsea Hotel, where many a deceased famous figure is said to dwell. Dylan Thomas, Eugene O'Neill and Thomas Wolfe have all been spotted in spirit form. Be particularly careful when you ride the elevator: the ghost of Sid Vicious (lead singer of the Sex Pistols who died of a heroin overdose) is reported to linger on the lift.

If you'd rather not visit the Chelsea, you can always get a glimpse of its impact on artists of the era: Leonard Cohen wrote the song "Chelsea Hotel" and Andy Warhol made the film "Chelsea Girl" to commemorate the seediness of this establishment. Or visit it online. Living With Legends: Hotel Chelsea Blog is all about the past (and present) Chelsea Hotel and veers into nostalgic remembrances of its bohemian and artistic days.
