We visited the inn a few days ago, specifically rooms 216 and 219 and captured this photo that shows a strange white fog hanging in front of the lamp. We didn’t spend the night, just took a little tour around the hotel and grounds. It’s a cool old hotel filled with antiques and character … and possibly ghosts.
I spent a night there and may have had a ghostly visitor. There was no breeze but the pull cord on a ceiling fah began to swing around frantically. I looked at it for awhile and then said to the ghost or whatever ” Is that the best you can do/” and the pull chain suddenly stopped moving. No other visitor that night. Maybe I insulted him or her. Oh well. It was a few years ago so I forgot which room but was first room down the hall right from dining room. Beautiful place too.
