Beal House Inn

There's the Thayer's, there's the Littleton Opera House, and then there's the Beal House Inn. Not only are these spots famous locations and everyday sights for people who live in Littleton, they are also three of the reported haunted locations of the area. Let's explore the Beal House Inn.

The Beal House Inn was built as a farmhouse in 1833, but Mrs. Beal turned it into an inn in 1933. Over the years the inn has seen many owners, but in its 2001 purchase is when strange happenings started to take place. In 2001, the owners of the Beal House began renovations and one night, one of the owners parents came over from Europe to spend a couple nights at their son and daughter's new establishment. While no details were given of her experience the mother told them that she had some activity in her room during her stay.

Since then, strange occurences have happened to the almost two century home building. Another incident is where a housekeeper was painting when she felt some pressure on her hip, thinking it was one of the owners as they were in and out throughout the day, she was going to move to the side, but something held (or forced) her there for a few seconds. She turned and there was no one there, but when she finally caught her breath and resumed painting, the same pressure happened on the other side.

Strange, unintelligible male voices have been heard in the common room where people have been relaxing, but when they ask whoever is there (and alive) who said that, they all say it wasn't them speaking. Although I did not receive an a reply back from the owners of the Beal House Inn if they've had any experiences, they did reply to a letter from "Haunted New Hampshire" author Thomas D' Agostino telling him that the wife had an experience where she saw a shadow and when she saw nobody was there, she went back to her paperwork and a sudden warm feeling came to her, but pleasant.

Don't be scared to stay a night at the Beal House Inn as mediums and guests alike have said that if there is ghosts there, they are protecting the Inn. So spend a night in the Beal House Inn and maybe you'll be lucky enough to be greeted by Mrs. Beal herself and her helpful hands that have stayed behind to help her out in the afterlife.

Until next time, this has been another Scared Sheetless. Happy Hauntings my fellow Graveyard Disciples.
