my favorite part of Haunted Acres. You walk through the woods

bats, vampires and wolves. It takes about 20 minutes to
walk through. The Dark Maze is a 2,000
square foot maze with dark hallways and many dead ends.

place in the home of the Blackwell family. Legend has it that there
were 2 brothers, Ethan and Silas, who owned a funeral home, the
family business. They came into a small
fortune which caused conflict between the two brothers. Shortly after, Ethan passed
away under mysterious conditions.
Ethan had a will that left
the family business to his wife and kids and nothing to Silas.
This made Silas furious and

ghost of Silas and a look at the horrible acts he committed.

Haunted
Inn and Hotels
There are several inns that are said to be haunted...
The
Three Chimneys Inn, Durham, NH
The Three Chimneys Inn in Durham
NH
houses the spirit of Hannah who was related to Valentine Hill
who built the Three Chimneys Inn in 1694.
Hannah does not like the new
technology we have today.
She likes to change the
order of the numbers on calculators and she also enjoys printing
after the printer is turned off. Hannah also loves to tease
the employees. On one instance, an employee
was sleeping upstairs and Hannah decided to play with her hair.
On another instance, a chef was closing up and saw Hannah behind
the bar.
The
Eagle Mountain House, Jackson, NH
The Eagle Mountain House in
Jackson NH has two ghosts. A woman dressed in red who paces the
hallways and a small boy whose voice has been heard but he has
never been seen. He loves to giggle and play
jokes on the employees. One night, an employee was
doing work at his desk when a stack of papers from his desk
moved across the room and dropped to the floor. Shortly after, a little boy
giggled.
The
Inn at Jackson, Jackson NH
The Inn at Jackson in
Jackson NH has a ghost who hasn’t shown themselves yet.
There was an occasion where
guests heard the water from a bathroom turn on and off several
times.
The strange part was that
the room was not occupied at the time.
Guests and employees have
seen unexplained flashes of light throughout the house.
The Mount Washington Hotel, Bretton
Woods, NH
The Mount Washington Hotel
in Bretton Woods NH has many tales to tell.
The ghost that lives at the
hotel seems to be the wife of Joseph Stickney, who built the
hotel in 1903. That same year, Joseph
passed away, leaving Carolyn, his wife, a young widow.
She is dressed in Victorian
style clothing and has been seen by many guests and employees.
She like to knock on guests’
doors so when they answer it, no one is there as she floats
away. In Room 314, the original
bed that was used by the Stickney’s remains in that room.
Many guests have reported
seeing a woman sit on the edge of the bed, brushing her hair.
