Marlow, New Hampshire · Other
Haunted Places attaches costumed apparitions and a feeling of being watched to Murray Hall. Its accompanying tale of a disastrous Halloween party is an urban legend: the historical society dates the actual building to 1849, long after the directory's claimed 1624 fire.
Hart's Location, New Hampshire · Hotel

Rye, Isles of Shoals, New Hampshire · Hotel
Star Island's resort folklore includes a white-haired, bearded man, a woman in white, a child and a black dog. Haunted Places also records unexplained attic footsteps. The figures are reported around the same small island resort, so they are kept together in one profile.

Guests at Bretton Woods’ grand mountain hotel have a spectral favorite: Princess Caroline, said to visit Room 314 and watch over the resort.

Blood Cemetery takes its name from a family, not a documented massacre. Its haunting centers on a carved hand said to change direction—and on quieter personal encounters reported among the graves.

The ghost known as Goldie was said to disturb the old Ray's Seafood: locked windows opened, the attic lamp came on, and belongings moved.

Room 38, the kitchen and the carriage house are the Spalding Inn's reported centers of activity. Haunted Places describes whispers, strange noises, shadowlike people and localized warmth. Guest experience logs were part of the property's ghost-hunting reputation under earlier ownership.

The brief legend recorded by Haunted Places gives this burial ground a strange nighttime glow. Two large red eyes are said to track people traveling along Stark Road, following their movement past the cemetery.
Sanbornton, New Hampshire · Hotel
