Vermont Ghost Stories and Hauntings - The Wilmington White House

Wilmington - The White House - The spirit of Mrs. Martin Brown is said to haunt the historic White House Inn of Wilmington, Vt. Both staff and guests have reported unexplainable cold spots, doors that open by themselves, and visible apparitions. One guest reported being visited by an elderly lady in the middle of the night, who sat in a chair by the bed and exclaimed, "One Mrs. Brown in this room is quite enough!" The guest's name also happened to be Mrs. Brown.
The Inn itself includes a vast attic with creaks included, a dungeon-like basement with dark areas and coal boilers, a locking iron vault and even a hidden staircase.
From assistant innkeeper Adam Grinold: The White House was built in 1915 as a private summer home for lumber baron Martin Brown. The inn is reportedly still home to Mrs. Brown's spirit!
An exploration of the inn reveals a rambling mansion complete with a vast attic where things are always creaking in the night, a dungeon-like lower basement full of dark corners and original coal boilers, an immense locking vault complete with squeaking iron door, and most appropriately, the hidden staircase. This home was built to be haunted!
Both guests and staff have reported disembodied footsteps, unexplainable cold spots, doors that open by themselves, and even visible apparitions. One guest reported being visited in the middle of the night by an elderly lad who sat in a chair by the bed and said, "One Mrs. Brown in this room is quite enough!" It so happened that the guest and the original mistress of the house were both Mrs. Brown.
