The Haunted Record

Connecticut

23 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

Woodbury · Connecticut

1754 House

Previously called the Curtis House Inn, this property has reports of voices and footsteps attributed to former guests or employees. It appeared on Gordon Ramsay's Hotel Hell under its earlier name. The television connection documents publicity surrounding the inn, not verification of its alleged spirits.

Simsbury · Connecticut

Abigail's Grille and Wine Bar

Staff and guests report a presence near the upstairs women's restroom in the former Pettibone Tavern. The building dates to 1780. A story identifying the ghost as a murdered Abigail Pettibone circulates widely, but Connecticut tourism explicitly notes that records do not support that murder tale.

Berlin · Connecticut

Berlin crying-house account

An 1888 newspaper account described doors moving and an infant's cries at a house on the former Blair property. New England Legends consulted the local historical society to identify the general area. The building is gone, and modern houses nearby should not be mistaken for the reported haunted home.

Norfolk · Connecticut

Blackberry River Inn

At this eighteenth-century estate, reports describe a woman in white on the second floor. Some accounts call her Francis and characterize the presence as protective. Her identity is speculative, and the associated tunnel stories require separate historical verification; the recurring sighting is the core haunting claim.

East Haddam · Connecticut

Boardman House Inn

Regional accounts describe an old-fashioned male figure smoking a cigar in the library of this Gilded Age inn. The report is a local haunting tradition rather than an identified individual with a verified biography. The historic lodging remains the setting for that particular apparition story.

Putnam · Connecticut

Bradley Playhouse

Built in 1901, the Bradley has reports of a woman called Victoria in its balcony. Other sightings come from the stage, backstage and basement. The name reflects local accounts of the figure; the theatre's published haunted reputation does not identify a securely documented historical Victoria.

Mystic · Connecticut

Captain Daniel Packer Inne

Built in 1756, the inn has reports of boot steps, shifting glasses and small handprints on windows. Stories associate these experiences with Captain Packer and Ada Clift, a seven-year-old who reportedly died of scarlet fever in 1874. Those identifications belong to the haunting accounts.

Preston · Connecticut

Captain Grant’s 1754

Connecticut tourism records reports of disappearing objects, unexplained bangs and voices at Captain Grant’s. This historic lodging property has become a destination for people interested in haunting accounts. Those reports establish its reputation; they do not independently demonstrate a supernatural cause.

Hartford · Connecticut

Connecticut’s Old State House

Staff and visitors reported footsteps, voices and a figure at a museum window. During Ghost Hunters’ visit, investigators attributed some loud sounds to outside construction and could not reproduce a fleeting shadow. They also interpreted recordings as a sigh and a door sound. The episode’s conclusion reserved judgment pending further investigation.

Essex · Connecticut

Griswold Inn

The Griswold dates to 1776 and served generations of sailors and shipbuilders. Its reported disturbances include glasses falling, footsteps in otherwise empty halls and faint music. These modest recurring experiences form its haunting reputation alongside a documented history of accommodating travelers on the Connecticut River.

Hartford · Connecticut

Harriet Beecher Stowe House

Reports associated with the Stowe house include unexplained footsteps and parlor shades apparently moving without assistance, according to Connecticut tourism. These are claims about experiences at a real literary landmark. They should be considered separately from the documented biography and work of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Plainville · Connecticut

J. Timothy's Taverne

Manager Rino Ouellet has described decades of unexplained noises and doors or windows closing in this 1789 building. Some disturbances stopped after renovations. Later reports focus on lights or orbs in the dark downstairs Forge room, which Ouellet encounters during his closing rounds.

East Hartford · Connecticut

Makens Bemont House

Workers restoring the 1761 house named an alleged presence Benny after hearing unexplained knocks and scratches. Later accounts describe a blue-clad woman in windows when the building was empty, sometimes identified as Abigail Bemont. Visitors have also reported pushing sensations and unusual recordings.

Hartford · Connecticut

Mark Twain House

Museum staff and visitors describe cigar smoke near the billiard room, footsteps and tugs on clothing. Apparitions have been identified in the stories as Twain's daughter Susy, who died in the house, and butler George Griffin. The sightings are separate from the family's documented residence.

Coventry · Connecticut

Nathan Hale Homestead

Connecticut tourism identifies the Nathan Hale Homestead with accounts attributed to Hale’s father and a woman in white. This record preserves those reported associations without presenting either apparition’s identity as established. A historical tour is the appropriate starting point for understanding the people connected with the house.

New London · Connecticut

New London Ledge Light

The Ledge Light’s best-known story concerns a figure called Ernie. Connecticut tourism repeats an account linking him to a fatal fall, but the identity and circumstances should be treated as legend unless independently corroborated. The lighthouse’s physical history is separate from the ghost narrative.

Stratford · Connecticut

Phelps Mansion site

In 1850, Reverend Eliakim Phelps's household reported displaced furniture, thrown objects and unexplained knocking. New England Legends traces the publicity to contemporary newspaper accounts, including the Hartford Courant. The family said the disturbances ceased after a winter away; the mansion was demolished in 1974.

New Haven · Connecticut

Robert P. King Schooner Account

In an 1896 newspaper account revisited by New England Legends, Captain Parker Hall described hearing his name called aboard the schooner while no speaker could be found. Crew members reportedly left because of similar experiences. The podcast also discusses an earlier fatal confrontation aboard the vessel and Hall’s acquittal, without establishing that the voice belonged to the deceased.

Old Saybrook · Connecticut

Saybrook Point railroad roundhouse remains

A 1900 newspaper story described railroad employees Charles Belcher and Arthur Beebe encountering flying books, falling crates and ringing locomotive bells at Saybrook Point. Later explanations connected the disturbance with Lady Fenwick's relocated grave. The podcast separates the workers' reported experiences from the speculative identification of a spirit.

Derby · Connecticut

Sterling Opera House

Workers described dressed-up figures, balcony shadows and unsettling experiences below the auditorium. During Ghost Hunters’ visit, investigators considered debris as an explanation for reported scratches and the building’s atmosphere as a source of unease. They also interpreted recordings as voices. The episode therefore contains both haunting claims and attempts to find ordinary explanations.

Derby · Connecticut

Twisted Vine

The restaurant occupies an 1892 bank building. Staff and guests report footsteps and shadowy figures, particularly around the original vault and upstairs. The operator hosts paranormal-themed events, giving visitors a scheduled way to explore the building's haunting reputation and its surviving bank interiors.

Hartford · Connecticut

Wadsworth Atheneum

New England Legends revisits a 1911 newspaper discussion in which museum and library employees recalled unexplained footsteps, slamming doors and rustling papers in empty spaces. Some associated these experiences with Reverend Thomas Robbins. The episode distinguishes the named historical setting from an unproven spirit identification.

Torrington · Connecticut

Warner Theatre

Reports at the Warner include sudden cold, flickering lights and activity in the balcony. Local accounts name a presence Murph and attach a story about a fatal stairway fall. The reported disturbances are distinct from that unconfirmed explanation of the figure's identity.
