The Princess: The Ghost of an Early 20^th-Century Woman

Planning a trip to the Omni Mount Washington in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire? This hotel’s resident ghost, called The Princess, is believed to be the spirit of Carolyn Foster Stickney, the wife of a railroad tycoon who used to live at the hotel. Her spirit is so well-known, the crew of the show Ghost Hunters even came to investigate. Carolyn’s husband built a private dining room for her called the Princess Room, and today, guests report sightings of Carolyn in a regal, Victorian dress, in hallways. Some even say they’ve heard her tap on their doors and move objects in the rooms. The most appearances of Carolyn, however, are traced to Room 314, where it is claimed she’s seen sitting at the edge of the four-poster bed, the same bed where Carolyn used to sleep.
