This 1804 building is said to be haunted by its original owners, the Dimmick family. Sarah, a teenage daughter who died here in 1823, has been spotted in some rooms wearing an old-fashioned white nightgown. She may hover over guests as they sleep looking at them strangely, as if wondering why they are in her bed. Other male and female apparitions have been seen, including that of Dr. Tripp, another former owner.

I had a “siting” at a Falmouth hotel in July of 2000. I do not remember the name of the hotel, but after seeing a similar story, I think it might have been yours. I was staying there for a friend’s wedding. As a business woman, I travel all the time staying in hotels, and I’ve never been scared or had an experience like this one.
The first night I stayed there, I had a “dream” (or so I thought) that a young woman with long dark hair (but pinned up) in a long white night gown was hovering over me in bed saying “GET OUT!”. I immediately awoke very startled and then realized it was a dream. Or??? BUT it was so vivid, and so startling that I was unnerved. I somehow went back to sleep. The next night I had this “feeling” that I was not wanted in that room. I would turn the bathroom light on and it wouldn’t go on. Then it would go on and I would turn it off only for it to come back on. A lamp went off I turned on. Weird “lighting” things continued and I was literally freaked out & frightened. I said to myself, “if one more event happens, I’m out of this room!” I was trying to sleep but felt very unnerved & anxious. Then the light came on again in the bathroom. I freaked and called the front desk even though it was 3 in the morning. They got me a new room. As I packed, I told “the woman” that I was leaving and to just let me leave. I kept the hallway door open while I packed because I was so freaked out. Once I got to the new room, my anxiety and uneasy feelings vanished and I went right to sleep.
