The Pilot House was built way back in 1839 and originally served as an inn for pilots and captains of large boats and ships, needing a place to stay overnight. While it isn\u2019t exactly known what atrocities happened there, it has a big-time reputation as a haunted place. People hear and see a variety of unusual things, but the most common and well-known apparition is the \u201cLady in White,\u201d who haunts the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

This entrance to Boston Harbor was used throughout several wars from the 19<\/span>th<\/span> century to the 20<\/span>th<\/span> century.
