The Story

Guests describe two women taking tea in the Fainting Room, a child-sized chair moving beside a bed and footsteps on a staircase that no longer exists. The Angora Room has generated reports of shifting bedcovers and the sensation that someone sits on the mattress. The Trail attributes these stories to guests and the inn's owners.
