Haunted Vermont Inns - The Equinox Ghost Story, Manchester, VT
Mary Todd Lincoln and her children from Washington D.C., spent two summers at The Equinox, built in 1769, in Manchester Village, VT. The family planned to return the summer of 1865, but plans changed after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The family's ties to the area continued and strengthened with son Robert Todd Lincoln's purchase of neighboring estate Hildene. Employees at the hotel report seeing images on the third floor of a woman and a child which are consistent with descriptions of Mary Todd Lincoln and one of her sons. Perhaps through their visits they are trying to recapture the care free days of those summers.
The housekeepers made the beds on the first floor and then split up to make the upstairs beds. When the housekeepers returned downstairs, they found that the blankets and pillows had been ripped off of the beds they had just made and blankets had been thrown around the room. The identity of this ghost is a mystery.
