In fact, at a Chatham High School reunion party held at the inn several years ago, the owner of the inn claims to have snapped a photograph that includes one of the inn’s resident spooks: Hannah.

Hannah is thought to be the ghost of a woman who was murdered at the inn in the 1920s, during a period in which the inn also functioned as a brothel.

Ed Maas, the inn’s current owner, reportedly saw the ghostly form of Hannah creep down the inn’s main staircase. According to Maas, she was completely nude.

The inn also received a phone call from a passerby who advised that curtains should be installed in the fifth-floor guest room, as he could see a nude, dancing woman through the window. At the time, there was no guest staying on the fifth floor.
