Haunted Hotels in Sudbury, Massachusetts You Can Stay In

Longfellow's Wayside Inn

72 Wayside Inn Road, Sudbury, MA 01776, United States

The inn is famously associated with the spirit of Jerusha Howe, sister of a former innkeeper, who died in 1842 allegedly of a broken heart. Guests and staff report encountering her spirit, particularly in rooms 9 and 10, through phenomena such as the scent of citrus perfume, apparitions, and feelings of presence. A unique tradition is the 'Secret Drawer Society,' where guests leave written accounts of ghostly experiences. Other reported phenomena include disembodied child's laughter/footsteps and items moving mysteriously, suggesting more than one spectral resident.
