Stone's Public House in Ashland, MA, is described as haunted due to various phenomena, including paranormal activity like unexplained lights, doors opening, and voices. The building, established in 1832, is associated with several tragic events, such as a rumored murder during a card game in the 1840s and the accidental death of a girl in 1863, believed to be the source of some of the reported hauntings. The inn has since embraced its eerie reputation, attracting both locals and visitors interested in its ghostly lore. Reports include lights turning on and off, doors opening on their own, water taps turning on, and glasses breaking. Staff and visitors have reported hearing voices of people who are not present, with one instance being a recorded voice saying, "Leave". Fingerprints of a child have been found on a mirror, and items have been moved around the establishment, according to the MetroWest Daily News. Psychics and paranormal investigators have reported feeling a strong presence, particularly "sullen male phantoms," often associated with former occupants of the building. One persistent story involves the inn's builder, John Stone, who allegedly killed a New York boarder named Michael during an upstairs card game in 1845. The victim is believed to be buried in the basement. Another reported tragedy is the 1863 death of 10-year-old Mary J. Smith, who was hit by a train near the inn. Some reports mention the possible death of a drunkard named Burt Philipps at the inn in the 1890s.
