25 Haunted New England inns

24. The White House of Wilmington

One woman at the White House Inn in Wilmington, Vt., reportedly awakened in the middle of the night to find an old lady sitting by her bed. When their eyes met, the phantom spoke: ''One Mrs. Brown in this house is quite enough." The guest's name was, in fact, Brown. Her room still contained the furnishings of the mansion's lumber baron owners, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Brown.

There are rumored to be several spirits at the inn, including one said to lurk in the secret staircase behind a built-in cupboard in the main dining room at the Inn.
