Haunted Hotels in Proctorsville, Vermont

Golden Stage Inn

399 Depot St, Proctorsville, VT 05153

When we first bought the inn ten years ago we were told it was haunted. We were told that there had been tell in the past of people seeing a girl in an upstairs window, endlessly brushing her hair. We were told that one section of the house was very difficult to photograph for website pictures. The photographer had to return more than once because hazy orbs would keep appearing in the photos during development. We were told that when the innkeeper was asleep in her private quarters on the third floor, she awoke to a vision of handsome man with an old-fashioned traveling coat and hat who lingered and then left. We have since met the innkeepers who owned Golden Stage Inn even prior to the innkeepers who sold us to us. The woman of the innkeeping couple wasted little time and asked, “So have you seen the ghost?” I paused, due to my reluctance to believe, and she seized the moment to share her ghost story. Her clearest memory of the ghost was the time that she and her staff were relaxing together in the pub (now our office). Plain as day, someone entered the back door of the kitchen, walked past those office doors, and went straight up the back stairs. By the time the innkeeper stood up and circled into the kitchen to track this guest, the image disappeared — no one in sight other than the stunned and perplexed witnesses to the apparition. The former innkeeper explained that this was not the only time she encountered friendly spirits at Golden Stage Inn, but the visitor was so clear and so obvious that day that it remains her favorite encounter.
