00:00:19,467 S1: Come with me. This way. I'll take you into room 24, which is known to be our honeymoon. 00:00:26,801 S2: So let me go out this door. Okay. Look to your left and see the light. It's pretty interesting. Oh, I was having a lot of trouble with it. Yeah. 00:00:34,667 S3: Oh my God. 00:00:36,100 S2: So I think we're. 00:00:37,167 S3: Ready to go out the door. Erica, what do you do here at the Colonial Inn? 00:00:43,000 S1: I work at the front desk of the inn. Check people in, check people out. Answer phone. 00:00:48,667 S3: When was it built? What was it originally? Was it a home? 00:00:52,100 S1: It was originally three homes. It was built back in 1716. And at that point it was three homes during the American Revolution. They put the three homes together and I would say what you'd call this sitting area. They used to house the ammo for the revolution itself. And back in 1889 is when it first became a hotel. 00:01:15,868 S3: I'm going to ask you, just famous people who stay here, because here we are in Concord. Very historic. 00:01:22,167 S1: Some of the famous people who stayed here have been Faye Dunaway, uh, Goldie Hawn. And when they were filming the movie House sitters right here in Concord, both her and Dana Delaney had lunch, and I was the wrong room. And then Queen Noor of Jordan. As you can see, there's a picture of her right here with our own Juergen Dennis on one of her trips. 00:01:44,601 S3: Oh, look at it. I didn't know her. That's a great shot. Do people come from all over the place? Yes. Come to this end. And how come? It's because it's surrounding history. Is it this in particular? 00:01:57,667 S1: I believe they come to the end because of the history behind it and also the history of the town, with the North bridge being a quarter of a mile up the road where the first battle was fought and the first shot was heard around the world. There's also Lexington and next town over where Paul Revere made his little ride. Unfortunately, never made it to Concord. He was caught in Lexington. 00:02:19,100 S3: Come along. 00:02:23,267 S3: Don't shoot. 00:02:23,868 S1: My. 00:02:24,100 S3: Rear. I mean it. Okay. You said headshots. Headshots you have. Oh, it's really cold in here. 00:02:32,701 S1: Yes, that's a feeling a lot of people get when they first came into the room. 00:02:35,667 S3: Oh my God. 00:02:36,701 S1: It didn't feel that cold earlier. Earlier? 00:02:41,100 S3: Am I allowed to say hell yeah. It's cool. What the hell is going on? Oh my God, this is really cold. That's great. Okay, there's. This is. Thank you, thank you. 00:02:54,167 S2: Our first official. 00:02:55,000 S3: Oh my God. I'm pretty. Wow. Now I'm checking for drafts. There aren't any. 00:03:03,000 S2: Okay. 00:03:05,801 S3: You know, it's so funny. I'm a ghost hunter, but when I really weird stuff happens, I'm like, oh, no, I'm okay. Horrifying. Should we have a seat? What should we do? We were here for a site survey. Prior to entering the room with Erica. And it wasn't as cold. 00:03:24,801 S1: No it wasn't. 00:03:25,868 S3: It's really dropped. Mhm. You know, and you'd say the heat in this building is pretty uniform. There wouldn't be a reason for this. Yeah. That's definitely interesting. Could you tell me about this room and you say it's haunted. 00:03:41,901 S1: Yes. Um, innkeeper. At the time, Mr. Grimes received a letter from a woman who stayed here on her honeymoon back in June of 1966. And I wouldn't want to spend my honeymoon this way, But she was, um. Her and her husband were in bed, and he was fast asleep, and she was trying to fall asleep, and he couldn't. And she felt a presence, almost, almost a presence. Uh, she called it a great apparition. It was standing at the foot of her bed, and when she rolled over and looked, she could see the gray apparition standing at the foot of the bed. 00:04:20,267 S3: Oh. 00:04:21,000 S1: And she couldn't fall back to sleep that night. She never said anything to anybody until she went home, and she wrote a letter to the innkeeper at the time, told them what had happened, and asked if anybody else reported it, and he wrote her a letter back stating that yes, other people have reported a presence or a sighting here in this room. 00:04:43,000 S3: We are now exactly where that ghost was spotted. I shouldn't be laughing. It's nervous laughter, isn't it? Yes, we're scared to death here because this is where this apparition, you know, was, you know, looming over you said, what is her name, Mrs. Fallon's. Fallon's or Mrs. Fallon's? 00:05:02,267 S1: I wouldn't want a bear. 00:05:03,767 S3: Me neither. 00:05:04,601 S1: There was one time when a guest here in the inn didn't need an iron because her iron didn't work. So the room that was unoccupied, which happened to be this room I came in to get an iron back. It was about 10:00 at night. I came in when I opened the door. It was cold, like it was when we first walked in. The hair on the back of my neck immediately stood up. I ran as quick as I could to the closet to get the iron and left. I couldn't stay here. 00:05:30,367 S3: There have been other sightings to you had mentioned or could you tell us about, I think 1996. 00:05:37,000 S1: 1996? There was a woman who was staying in this room, and the woman apparently was having, um, stomach problems. She didn't feel well, so she was trying to summons the ghost, who they believed to be Doctor Minot, who at one time lived in this section of the house and during the war. Used to take care of the wounded. So they think it's him making his house calls while she woke up a couple of times. Still had the pain. Tried to summons the ghost and apparently it worked because when she woke up the next morning, there were no signs. And in the middle of the night, while she was trying to summon the ghost, she felt numb. She felt almost like she couldn't move. She was pinned to the bed and she could almost feel something passing over her. 00:06:21,067 S3: Very interesting. And that's common to do, you know that. That numbness and that bed paralysis. If you read across the board with ghost stories, that's a common phenomenon. So it's it's definitely freaky. I'm still amazed by I don't know, it almost feels like it's warming up a little bit now just to touch in this room. You're noticing that too. Camera guy. 00:06:41,667 S2: Yeah, I. 00:06:42,501 S3: You know, but it's still. 00:06:43,901 S2: You. 00:06:44,067 S3: Know, but it's still very different. There's a huge. 00:06:47,100 S2: Difference. Yeah. It was exciting to open the door. It really felt like somebody had left an air conditioner on. 00:06:51,100 S3: Have there been any psychics that have come here or mediums that have said, let me set this spirit free? 00:06:57,400 S1: No, there hasn't been anything. Hmm. Um, I kind of wish somebody would come in and try something, you know? Just let us know what's going on. 00:07:06,567 S3: Says please do not disturb it inside. That's perfect. Because he's a. 00:07:11,501 S1: Ghost. Don't disturb. 00:07:12,701 S3: The ghost. Leave me alone or don't disturb the ghost. Flickering issue with that light or not? Usually not useful, but it was flickering rather violently before. Yes. Yeah. I was going to ask you, Erica, who else has come to document this room? Oh, I guess we're walking. Okay. The Chronicle was here. Okay. 00:07:34,367 S1: And they've documented the room. We've actually had a couple, um, foreign companies, like, uh, I know there was people from Japan who came over to document tonight. Well, they were doing a, uh, stories on ghost as well. 00:07:48,767 S3: Interesting. So it's caught on internationally. 00:07:51,868 S1: And the light just flickered again. 00:07:54,300 S3: Okay. The light flickered again. That's kind of weird. I think. 00:07:59,501 S2: It's off. 00:08:01,167 S1: I'm glad I'm moving it through. 00:08:03,300 S3: I don't really. I just figured he did. 00:08:07,000 S2: Yeah, I got it. Oh, neat. Flickered also to the left. 00:08:11,467 S3: In that room. 00:08:12,267 S2: No, but the wife had something also in the left. Well, let's keep walking. 00:08:17,067 S3: Okay, Erica, you can take us someplace else. Sure. You mentioned another room. 00:08:23,567 S2: Oh, there it goes. It's off completely. 00:08:27,100 S1: So is that the ghost saying goodbye? 00:08:28,868 S2: Oh, yeah. I mean, they love to, um, generate electricity. Huh? Thank you. That was great for responding to Heather. 00:08:37,501 S3: Thank you very much. You've mentioned another room. 00:08:40,901 S2: Oh, there it goes. It's off completely. 00:08:44,467 S1: So is that the ghost thing by? 00:08:46,200 S2: Oh, yeah. I mean, they love to, um, generate electricity. Huh? Thank you. That was great, responded the other. 00:08:54,901 S3: Thank you very much. 00:08:57,367 S2: You know what, I have goosebumps. That really felt interesting. 00:09:03,100 S2: Both times it was like a dude. It's like a morse code. Did you catch that, Heather? 00:09:07,567 S3: Yeah, I'm all right. 00:09:09,400 S1: That was the come up of. 00:09:24,767 S4: A pine nut road. Up here on the left is the pine Rock Cemetery. This is where Cora's buried. 00:09:31,968 S3: But we know. 00:09:32,501 S4: Her final resting. 00:09:33,501 S3: Place is not the cemetery. I didn't. 00:09:36,367 S4: Say final. I think 00:09:39,367 S4: I'll keep a good one. 00:09:40,868 S5: You've had. 00:09:47,667 S4: So this is where, um, Cora, the innkeeper, is buried in this burying ground. And, uh, supposedly her last and final resting place. 00:09:57,868 S6: But maybe not. 00:10:00,801 S4: Maybe not. And the inn is there. It's hidden behind the trees. But you can see the spire of the church, and it's just the right of the church hidden behind the trees. 00:10:34,000 S7: It was a very busy, busy evening in the dining room, and they were seating people. And he had an assistant at that time who was an assistant host. And she, uh, she, they they both looked over to, to this table. They They're working at the podium. And when they looked over, the dining room manager said, he said, I didn't realize you said anybody at this table. And they both saw this, this, this older lady, gray hair, dressed in a white sort of a white satin dress. And she said, no, I didn't see anybody at this table. And, and he said, well, I didn't. So they went back to the reservation book and checked the book and looked. And there was nobody written in the space for this table. And I think at that time it might have been table 13, but I don't know. Um, and when they both glanced over back to the table, there was nobody sitting here. So they both saw something. And then when they looked away and looked back again, she was gone. 00:11:30,167 S8: Our night security. 00:11:31,000 S4: Guy said that he saw Cora. He says that he doesn't lie down on the job, that he doesn't stretch out on the sofa all night. But I checked it from. There's no other angle that he could have seen Cora at unless he was stretched out on from the sofa, so he was torn between his secret being revealed and wanting to tell everybody that he'd seen Cora, and he heard the front door open and he heard the clank of keys, and he thought that it was one of the morning breakfast staff, one of the cooks coming in, and he saw a long skirt. It was red patterned with flowers, and he heard some movement behind the desk and a drawer opening and closing. And he and he waited for the cook to come through, and she didn't. And so he got up to see what was going on, and there was nobody there. But he saw something. 00:12:22,868 S4: Well, the inn was built in 1884 as an inn. There used to be one a little farther down the street by the village green, built by the Everett brothers, burnt down in 1883. And so this one was then built, um, local builder called George Arms. And, um, it was um. It's unusual that there are very few properties still left in New England that were actually built as inns. And in fact, there's a little group of us called the Original Historic. 00:12:55,968 S4: We've got one called ghost, who's we think a little mischievous ten, 11 year old little boy. He's called Herschel. I don't know why he's called that. He's been called that since before Lucille Henry got here. She's been working at the front desk for 40 years now, and it's very useful because whenever anything is missing, we can always blame it on Herschel. But Herschel Herschel is responsible. And he. There's a little area in the corridor of this main in upstairs where Herschel seems to seems to France about, um, mostly he likes to go into a room called Chester Harding, and he pops underneath the door and comes up on the other side in the in a square box of light, like Doctor Whose time machine. And then this little box breaks off into sparkles, which bounce all over the room. And if you're not paying attention by that time, he comes and tweets at your pillow and then he tugs at your bedclothes. And then if you're really out for the count and not wanting to get up and play, then he's apparently lobbed magazines around the room, and someone once told us that their glass of water moved from the bedside table to the television table. Certainly a lot of people tell us that strange things have happened. If they come down in the morning and they say, oh, you're not going to believe what happened in my room last night. And I say, well, 148 all right. Yes, we believe you have a cup of coffee. 00:14:24,400 S4: Oh, she's a rather good ghost because she's a she's a talking ghost. And Cora and her husband, James, at one time, earlier on the century were the owners of the inn. And it was a very ramshackle affair in those days. And she was the keeper of a great many confidences in the village, and I think that she wanted to know what was going on when she was alive. And now that she's not with us anymore, she still likes to know what's going on in her place. What Cora does is knock on the door of the room that used to be hers and say, it's Cora. Let me in in this very bossy voice. And if you open the door and peek out, she moves off pretty sharply, and she's got a hair and a long flap that hangs down her back, and she wears a white gown, like a dressing gown or a nightgown, and she walks off pretty quickly. And that's it. She and her husband were spiritualists, and they used to hold seances. And the room where they used to hold their seances is in the room, which, coincidentally, is named after her. The rooms are all named after people connected with the village's history, and so her living room, which is now a bedroom and bathroom, is called Cora Carlisle. And She. When her husband James passed on, she used to hold seances to ask him his advice on business matters. Well, not long ago, there was a business meeting. Um, it was mostly men, and they were in the two buildings of the inn. But in this main inn. There was one woman guest. And when she came down in the morning, she said, I hope that that elderly woman found her way to her room. All right. And I said, well, I didn't think. Was it. Who do you mean? And she said, someone knocked on my door last night and said, you know, it's Cora, and opened the door and she just walked off and it seemed as if she was a little bit lost. 00:17:26,501 S9: I'll tell you something about the Blue Lady Cemetery. They call it the Blue Lady Cemetery because Mary Ritter Spaulding died, and she's haunting the place in a blue dress. Theoretically, that's what they're saying. But why we're here is for something entirely different. We are following the work of Fiona Broome. You can Google her right on the internet, and you can find out the story on why she thinks this place is possibly haunted by demons. Now, we use a meter like this to detect heat levels and fluctuations on the ground and in the air. We also use a camera so we can check for orbs, ecto masses, etc. but let's start with the debunking. Now, Fiona clearly states that they came up here at the Valen cemetery and parked halfway right by that nice little elm tree there. Well, I find that almost impossible because they're saying they're strolling to the Blue Lady gravestone, which was not that far away. It is far away on the back of the graveyard. Down here, way down the back, I think. More or less. She parked right over here. I have my car parked, and then she took her stroll. So come on, let's follow the research. The story has it that when the ghost party was ready to leave, they decided to go back to the Blue Lady's gravestone. They were at an attorney's headstone at first, and I've located that. And I want you to see exactly what they've seen. Now, remember, we're going to come back tonight and we're going to do this all in the dark. That's right. It says that they were feet away from an attorney's gravestone. Now, the only attorney that I can find in this gravestone that has Esquire, right written on the stone is this guy right here. So they had to be within feet of this particular gravestone. And then it happened about three feet from them. They saw this red little man that they call the Grover man, and I decided to go in the exact same three feet perimeter to see if we have fluctuations. So we have right here 49 degrees, 50 degrees, 00:19:55,767 S9: 50, 00:19:58,667 S9: 50, 49. There's no heat fluctuation here. 51 when there's a heat fluctuation. That's why I usually take out my camera, because with heat fluctuations, whether they're hot or cold, there's usually a presence or an entity there. There isn't. But just for safety's sake, I'm going to take a few pictures. 00:20:36,968 S9: So they decided, well, he's not bothering anybody. So we're going to continue walking and we're going to walk over to Mary Ritter Stone one last time before we go in front of the Mary Ritter Spalding's gravestone. I want to take some heat readings. 6450. That's a 14 degree. Let's see if that's accurate. 64. 00:21:02,667 S9: 52. 54. 60. 00:21:14,100 S9: Also said that when they go back to the studio and develop the film, it was all black. Only one picture showed the Grover guy. Astounding. Let's come back here tonight and let's do this all over again. 00:21:33,000 S10: We are back. We are at the Vale and Cemetery in Wilton, New Hampshire to check out the night filming of The Rover. Guys, listen, I just want to tell you, whenever you go into a graveyard at night, you really should ask permission by the local authorities. We do this all the time. We never just come sneaking in because it's not right. Because you never know who you're going to bring home with. You could be a ghost. Now, let's follow Fiona Brooms research at night. We're going to head over to the Esquire Stone, where it all began, where she saw or claims to see the Grover guys. They're demons, you know. Let's go. 00:22:14,767 S10: Here we are at the Esquires gravestone, right here. And at this time, set about three feet away. So here we are, three feet away. And this perimeter right in here. Somewhere in here, he or she spotted the Grover guy. 00:22:36,767 S10: 66. 64. 65. 65. 65. 65. 67. 66. 00:22:49,100 S10: Pretty close to what we did in the daytime. There's no fluctuations here. But on the safe side. Let's take some pictures. 00:23:17,367 S10: Now we're on the way to Mary River. It's dark here. We have to be super careful. Let me tell you, it is spooky. 00:23:33,367 S10: We find ourselves again in back of Mary River Spalding's gravestone. I'm going to take my heat readings here. 00:23:43,601 S10: See what we got. 63. 00:23:48,601 S10: 62. 00:23:51,868 S10: 62. 00:23:56,601 S10: 64. 00:23:59,868 S10: Wait a minute, wait a minute. I thought I said 69. I thought I said 69. 63. 00:24:08,601 S10: 67. 69. 72. 72. That's over a five degree fluctuation. Heat. So what does that mean? We take out the camera, take some pictures. Means. Very well. There could be an entity right here. 00:24:49,501 S10: Okay, let's go in front of the stone. 00:24:53,167 S10: At this point. They said they heard within about, I don't know, a few feet away, the Grover guys. Hey, did you hear that? 00:25:05,167 S10: I hear footsteps. I hear footsteps coming out of the woods. Put the camera down there. 00:25:13,367 S10: I'm gonna get some pictures of that. Do you hear that? I hear that they say the woods. They say the woods are haunted here, too. 00:25:26,868 S10: Wow. 00:25:33,267 S10: Haven't haven't seen the Grover guys yet, but I'm hearing footsteps in the wood. That's unbelievable. 00:25:41,367 S10: Show yourself. We're not here to harm you. 00:25:50,467 S10: I heard your footsteps. 00:26:05,167 S10: My God, I just got punked by something. Where's the rest of the crew? Hey, guys. Come on. This is no time to joke. Did you just see somebody around me or something? Something. Something frickin poked me. Oh, I got the creeps. I got the creeps so bad. Whew. Well, that's a sign. Wow. 00:26:30,868 S11: While filming this shoot, our equipment failed several times. Look at this clip. 00:26:37,501 S10: Let me take some heat readings. 00:26:48,367 S10: It died. 00:26:52,667 S11: The batteries on our flash cameras kept going dead. Fiona Broome said that none of her pictures came out. They came out all black when we were able to get 20 photographs with flash. And you know what? 00:27:06,467 S11: These are the only two that came out. Two red circles along with a ghost vortex.
