Omni Mount Washington Resort, Bretton Woods
The Omni Mount Washington Resort is known for being one of New England's most haunted hotels, primarily due to the ghost of Princess Carolyn Stickney, the wife of the hotel's original owner, Joseph Stickney. Guests have reported experiences including seeing her in her former suite (Room 314), hearing music or a floral perfume, feeling nudges, seeing flickering lights, and experiencing cold spots. The ghosts are generally considered to be friendly, with many guests seeking to experience the hotel's unique haunted history for themselves. Carolyn Stickney was the wife of Joseph Stickney, the builder of the hotel as a wedding gift to her. Her presence is most often felt and seen in Room 314, the former Carolyn Stickney Suite, where she is said to sit at the edge of the bed. Visitors report seeing a woman in a Victorian dress in the hallways and her image in photographs. Guests in Room 314 have reported hearing scratching sounds and smelling floral perfume. Some visitors have witnessed drawers opening on their own, or objects appearing in unusual places. Guests have felt unexplained nudges, cold spots in bathrooms, or the sensation of being touched, according to a Reddit thread. Some have seen a toy penguin spinning on its head or experienced flickering lamps. While the hotel is considered haunted, the ghosts are believed to be friendly and not a source of harm.
