The Princess of the Mount Washington Hotel
The grand hotel at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, opened in 1902; its founder Joseph Stickney died within a year, and hotel lore says his widow Carolyn still walks its halls.
1902 CE · 44.26, -71.44 · status: legend
The account
Carolyn Stickney spent summers at the hotel for a decade, adding rooms and a chapel in her husband's memory. Staff and guests tell of a woman in Victorian dress and of her four-poster bed in the room named after her.
The sceptical view
This is hotel folklore, the kind historic resorts often encourage.
