Haunted Vermont Inns - - Old Stagecoach Inn, Waterbury, VT

Room 2 is haunted by Margaret Spencer who died there. Built in 1826, by a wealthy millionaire, it has served as a tavern, stagecoach stop, and a private residence and is now one of Waterbury Vermont's most well-known historic Inns.
During the 1920-40’s, the Old Stagecoach Inn was the private residence of a wealthy socialite, Margaret Spencer. In 1947, Margaret died at the age of 98, in her beloved home, in her own bedroom, which is now room 2. As Margaret Spencer loved her home so much, she didn't go on to the other side, but instead decided to hang around her old bedroom, room 2, appearing to startled guests, wearing a white shawl. Margaret Spencer has no plans in leaving and the living has made no effort to make her do so. She seems to be willing to share her room with the living, though the living may be a little unsure about sharing a room with an unseen / seen presence.
Part of the character of old homes is the story of a former resident, now deceased, who lingers on through the years to keep watch over their former domain. Not that they don’t trust the newer generation, just that the home was such an important part of their lives, they can’t seem to let go. This fits very well with the local attitude, to whom an old house is not really the genuine article unless there is a ghost in residence.
The Old Stagecoach Inn cooperates to make this all the more believable. From years back there were stories of strange goings on there, which the new owners dismissed as products of hyperactive imaginations. But as time passed a continuing series of “happenings” forced them to reconsider.
These “happenings” are mostly minor, almost practical jokes, as though someone or some-thing was having fun with a bewildered housekeeper or guest. They would occur as often as not in broad daylight with people present, at other times in the dead of night. But never was there anything sinister or malicious involved. For example, a rocking chair suddenly begins to rock in an agitated manner and continues for several minutes with no one near it; furniture items are moved; beds have their linens stripped and neatly folded while the housekeeper is working nearby, and other similar incidents too numerous to mention. The only ill effects have been a reluctance of cleaning staff to work alone upstairs.
