Haunted Hotels in Meredith, New Hampshire

The Nutmeg Inn

80 Pease Road, Meredith, NH 03253, United States

A ghost that’s been named Charlie is the reason The Nutmeg Inn is one of the most haunted hotels in New Hampshire. The inn has an interesting past, and has had over 20 owners since its origins as a residential homestead in 1763. During its time, it was a stop on the Underground Railroad to help slaves flee to Canada, a boarding house, a working farm and was even once a Girl Scout meeting destination. Now, The Nutmeg Inn welcomes visitors to stay in their cozy New England-style B&B, which also includes Charlie, a helpful and friendly spirit (and sometimes, mischievous) who many have acknowledged over the years. Charlie is said to sometimes hide items from guests and remove bath mats from tubs. Visitors and staff have also claimed to have found very cold spots throughout the house, and have even seen his apparitions in photos of the inn. There are also stories of Charlie helping innkeepers out on problems they weren’t able to solve themselves. In one instance, innkeepers weren’t able to afford the installation electrical outlets in a room, and after boarding up the space for the winter, they reopened it the following spring to find the outlets installed. Their contractor confirmed he never did the job. Others believe that Charlie has also assisted with carpentry work around the inn, and also getting flowers to bloom when they were thought to be duds.
