Liberty Hotel (former Charles Street Jail) - unexplained reports in a converted jail

The Liberty Hotel occupies the former Charles Street Jail (a 19th-century jail converted to a hotel) and has been the subject of anecdotal reports from staff and guests of unexplained knocks, footsteps, cold spots, and occasional sightings. Because the building’s history includes its long use as a jail, these reports are frequently cited in Boston ghost-tour narratives and local paranormal articles. Such reports are anecdotal and not established as definitive evidence of the paranormal.
