Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Haunted Road, a production of I Heart Radio
and Grim and Mild from Aaron Minky listener discretion is advised.
Years ago, after a long day of work, I had
settled into my hotel room. I was desperate for a

(00:22):
good night's sleep, as I was exhausted and completely jet lagged,
and knew I had to get back to work earlier
the next day. I turned out the bedside lamp and
my head hit the pillow. Seconds later, I heard a
click and the large light fixture and fan above me
turned on. Knowing this was an old hotel, I assumed
electrical issues, so I got up and turned the light off,

(00:45):
but was slightly weirded out that it was in the
on position when I did so. Settling back into bed,
I heard the click again and was again blinded by
the light above. Even from my bed, I could see
the switch I had just turned off off was very
much in the on position. Again, Exasperated, I stood up

(01:05):
and turned off the light again. As I got back
in bed, it flicked back on. I was trying to
temper my frustration and obvious fear, but my need for
sleep was great. I kid you not. This song and
dance went on at least three more times, until at
one point the light flicked on, and laying in bed,
almost in tears, I said, please stop. I have so

(01:28):
much work to do tomorrow and I just need to sleep.
And then I heard a familiar click, but this time
the light turned off. This was one of the first
of many, many, many experiences I would have at the
Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. So let's

(01:50):
take a little trip, shall we. I'm Amy Brunei and
this is Haunted Road. The Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods,
New Hampshire stands as one of the last Grand Victorian

(02:13):
hotels still operating in America. So named for their quiet
grand appearance in Spanish Revival architectural style, they were all
built in the early nineteen hundreds. These hotels, like the
Hotel del Coronado in San Diego and the Stanley Hotel
in Estes Park, Colorado, and of course our Mount Washington Hotel,
are all large, elaborate structures, stark white with bright red roofs.

(02:37):
The Mount Washington has over two hundred rooms in the
original hotel and is massive. I can attest to this
because as you pull into the Mount Washington driveway. After
having seen nearly nothing but dense woods and mountains for miles,
this gem of a Shining hotel greets you like a beacon,
which she's been for me ever since I set foot

(02:57):
inside almost fifteen years ago. So some fun facts for
you know. The Shining was not based on the Mount Washington,
nor was it filmed there, but the Grand Floridian Resort
at Disney World was modeled after her, and I think
that's way cooler. So while researching for this podcast, I
was surprised to learn that the Mount Washington was not

(03:20):
the first structure on this property before the landing question
was solely owned by Joseph Stickney, who we will talk
about in a moment. A lumberman named John T. G
Levitt built a simple, almost box like structure with only
forty rooms on the property called the Mount Pleasant House
in eighteen seventy five. There was also a sawmill and

(03:40):
adjacent housing called stove Pipe City thanks to the number
of stove pipes extending from the small log buildings. In
eighteen eighty one, Joseph Stickney and Oscar Pittman purchased the
hotel from John Levitt right away, the partners enlarged it
by adding a fourth story. Now, according to an eighteen
nine I'VE map, there were other structures in the vicinity.

(04:03):
There was the loghouse, the homes tavern, another stable near
the tavern, and a building called the Blind Tiger, which
one can only speculate about what went on at that establishment.
Before we die further, let's learn a bit about Joseph Stickney.
Joseph was born on May thirty one, eight forty, and
conquered New Hampshire. He attended schools and conquered as well

(04:27):
as Vermont's Setford Academy, before entering into various businesses from
railroading to coal mining and handling and real estate. Not
to fast forward too much, but when he died he
was worth an estimated ten million dollars. That's the equivalent
of about three hundred ten million dollars today according to
currency calculators online, So he clearly had some money to

(04:51):
throw around. After about twenty years succeeding as proprietor of
Mount Pleasant, a period wherein he refurbished the property and
added some turret and flags and made it more ostentatious.
According to Mount Washington director and historian Craig clemmer Our.
Mr Stickney got bolder in those decades. He married a

(05:11):
pretty twenty five year old He himself was fifty two
on his wedding day. Her name was Caroline Foster. He
met her at a dance down the road from Mount Pleasant.
Caroline's father was a prominent meat merchant, and the family
summered at the twin Mountain House in Carol, New Hampshire,
where her father's choice cuts were a feature on the menu.
It was around this time, being a driven man with

(05:32):
money to burn and strong emotional attachments to the area,
that Stickney decided to build the grandest of the grand hotels,
going full stop luxury from the foundation's up, a rarity
among the resort's rivals, which all boasted humble beginnings. With
that in mind, let's review some of the additions he
made to the existing Mount Pleasant Hotel, just to give

(05:55):
you an idea of what was to come with the
Mount Washington. So in eighteen eighty four, Joseph bought out
his partners and planned a major renovation that would turn
them Out Pleasant into one of the finest hotels in
the region. Much of Stickney's correspondence survives as do many
of the bills for the project. Stickney added an electric
power plant that would provide for seven fifty lights. He

(06:16):
had Walter Trask, a sinker of artesian wells, drill a
four hundred foot well to assure a steady water supply,
thereby eliminating a recurring water shortage. There was a bowling alley,
baths in every room, a golf course, tennis courts, and
a private lake named for his wife, Caroline. Stickney lent
a very devoted ear to all ideas about how to

(06:37):
increase business, and he opened his check book to bring
numerous ones to fruition. He also oversaw the construction of
an extensive system of trails behind the hotel on what
was then called Mount Stickney. In A bridle path two
miles long was built to the summit. A log cabin
was built called the Orchestra's Retreat, another trail called the

(06:59):
Carzone Trail. According to the hotel's brochure, zig zagged up
the mountain to the Birch Rock Spring and the Susquehanna Spring,
with rustic seats along the way. There were other maintained
trails in the woods. All of these lessons learned and
the remodeling of the Mount Pleasant likely benefited Stickney as
he embarked on the construction of the Mount Washington Hotel.

(07:23):
The Mount Washington Hotel lies in a valley of the
Amonosak River, six hundred feet above sea level. The mountains
surrounding the two thousand five d fifty acre preserve are
the Presidential, Dartmouth and Willie Rosebrook Ranges, dominated by Mount
Washington at six thousand two hight feet, the highest peak

(07:43):
in the northeast. The resort itself sits on three acres
as of a June report. The structure was designed by
Charles Allen Gifford, known for designing resort hotels. Joseph Stickney
was quite an entrepreneur and wanted the veryt of everything
for his guests. The Mount Washington Hotel was the embodiment

(08:04):
of new technology and an instant success when it opened
between nineteen hundred and nineteen o two. Joseph Stickney shelled
at one point seven million dollars almost fifty three million
dollars by today's standards, to bring Gifford's design to life.
During construction, Stickney spared no expense in building the imposing hotel.

(08:24):
The latest design and construction methods were used. Innovative and
complicated heating and plumbing systems were installed. To this day,
the Bretton Woods Hotel has its own private telephone system
in post office. Stickney brought in two hundred fifty Italian
artisans to build it, particularly the granite and stucco masonry.

(08:45):
The general style is based on Spanish Renaissance Revival, with
a red roof to imitate Spanish roof tiles. The building
is y shaped, with a forty five degree angle between
the wings and main kitchen in the middle. It is
the largest wooden structure in New England and has a
steel infrastructure, which was quite unique in the early nineteen hundreds.
The foundation is made of cut granite corried on the property.

(09:09):
Some of the novel features included an auto road at
a time when automobiles were rare, electric lights, a pool,
and private bats in every room. Stats about this hotel's
original construction are almost hard to imagine. Like for example,
it had more than twelve hundred windows containing over half
an acre of glass, and construction required nine hundred kegs

(09:31):
or three train car loads of nails to complete the
extensive veranda. Nine hundred three ft long and the longest
in New England, provided exercise for guests no matter what
the weather was like then and now, six laps around
the veranda add up to a mile. I wouldn't know
this because when I'm on the veranda, I'm usually sitting

(09:52):
with a good book and a glass of chardonnay. When
the hotel first opened for business on July, a crowd
gathered to celebrate. It was then the electrician, a Mr.
Thomas Edison, turned on the lights for the first time.
At that moment, Joseph Stickney stood before the crowd and proclaimed,
look at me, a gentleman, for I am the poor

(10:13):
fool who built all this. And poor fool is about
right because a year later he was dead. The New
York Times read on December second three, Joseph Stickney, of
the firm of Stickney, Conningham and Company, died suddenly at
his home Fifth Avenue yesterday morning from a stroke of apoplexy.

(10:35):
He was born at Conquered New Hampshire in eighteen forty,
and about eighteen sixty became interested in anthracite coal mining,
which had been his business ever since. He leaves a
widow who was Miss Caroline Foster of Waltham. He was
a prominent member of the Union, Union League, Racket and
New York Yacht clubs. His country home was in Westchester.

(10:57):
Although the hotel had been Joseph's dream, Caroline was seemingly invested.
After Joseph's death, hotels continued to be one of Caroline's focuses.
She remained fully involved in the hotels, spending summers at
the Mount Washington, making sure her guests were treated second
to none. During the open season, guests arrived by train,

(11:18):
sometimes fifty a day or more, from Boston and Portland.
They were brought to the hotel by horse and carriage,
arriving at the front porch. The hotel originally had three
train stations. So here's a glimpse at what life was
like for those who summered at this resort. According to
Craig Clemor, it was the early nineteen hundreds, and trains

(11:39):
unloading the families of the country's wealthiest people still came
thirty five to fifty times a day, so often you
hardly even notice it, dumping wives and children for the
entire season. They wanted their families in an environment where
everything was cleaner, fresher, and cooler. They wanted them away
from the yellow fever and the caller in the cities.

(12:01):
The pastimes here were utter turn of the century horseback riding,
hiking and golfing. Honestly, not much different than how it
is there today. They would work on their watercolors, clamor says,
and they'd have meals in a restaurant three times a day,
changing clothes four times a day. The floors dedicated to
guest rooms offer nearly every guest outside windows with mountain views.

(12:25):
When it opened, Mount Washington was the largest spa in
the White Mountains, one hundred seventy miles north of Boston.
It's guests enjoyed a service ratio of two to one,
a ticker tape, augmented by a telephone office and recreational
facilities on ten thousand acres. Guests paid twenty dollars a day,
which covered their room and three meals spread out over

(12:47):
the generally lengthy days. Mount Washington raked it in twenty
dollars per day, was four times the standard rate for
a room and three meals. According to the CPI inflation
calcula later, that's about six thirty five dollars per day.
In numbered. Among its famous guests were Winston Churchill, Thomas Edison,

(13:09):
Mary Pickford, and President's Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding.
On the patio level, there's now a bar called the Cave,
which is one of my favorite spots to visit on
the weekends, but originally it was the hotel's squash courts.
The space was later converted into a bar and grill
and was a speak easy during Prohibition, with guests drinking

(13:30):
spirits out of teacups. The Great Hall was initially named
the Assembly Hall. The focal point of the space is
a large guildstone fireplace, as well as several crystal chandeliers
that were added in the nineteen twenties. One point two
million dollar renovation in two thousand seven referenced historical photos
of Mount Washington's interior and once again features historic details

(13:52):
such as furnishings and a very large moose head, as
well as custom carpeting depicting local flora and fauna. The
Great Hall is filled with many wonderful pieces, but of
special note is the nineteenth century Grandfather clock tucked to
the left of the fireplace. Before the hotel was open
year round starting in two thousand one, the starting of
the clock signaled the beginning of the summer season. On

(14:15):
the final day, the last guest would stop the pendulum
until the following season began. The clock is one of
the few original pieces remaining in the Mount Washington Hotel
Great Hall. In the conservatory, the high dome in the
middle of the room provides natural acoustics and was used
for musical entertainment, chamber music lectures, and poetry readings, just

(14:36):
as it is today. The glass around the dome is
Tiffany glass, and the piano is an original eight two
Steinway from Joseph Stickney's New York home, The Princess Room
number three fourteen is by far the most popular suite,
now called the Princess Room after its most esteemed proprietors,
Caroline Stickney Princess You Say Well. Ten years after Joseph

(14:59):
Stickney's death, Caroline remarried and her husband was a French prince,
Prince Aimon de Fassiny Loosene. Before this second marriage, Caroline
apparently confided in a friend, Joe left me every material
comfort a woman could desire, But now I am lonesome.
If I ever marry again, it will be for companionship.

(15:22):
A notice of marriage appeared in paper syndicating a message
from the Boston Globe that opened with a celebration of
a hometown sweetheart. From a small house on Main Street, Waltham,
to one of the finest residences on Fifth Avenue, to
the most socially exclusive homes in Newport and Bar Harbor,
to the Palace of the Emperor of Japan, to the
home of the Viceroy of India, to Buckingham Palace itself,

(15:44):
and finally to the title of Princess bearing the name
of one of the oldest families in France. Is the
career in brief of Caroline Foster, later Mrs Joseph E.
Stickney and now Princess amon de Fassny Loosene. She was
married before a brilliant assemblage to the Prince Wednesday, July
two in London. After this, Caroline was affectionately referred to

(16:09):
by guests and staff as the Princess. So back to
the Princess Room. Originally it functioned as her private dining
space where important guests were invited to dine with her.
The Princess Room is home to an original chandelier above
the bar and It even houses her original bed that
she had assembled wherever she stayed. Yes, she traveled with

(16:31):
a massive four poster bed and you can sleep in it.
But this is the most haunted room in the hotel,
so you may want to rethink that. When summering at
the hotel, Caroline would famously watch all the ladies coming
down the stairway to dinner from behind a curtain on
the balcony near the front desk. If any woman was
better dressed than she, Caroline would change her evening ensemble

(16:53):
to ensure she was the finest dressed. Caroline left her
mark in the main dining room as well as the
Princess Room. In the octagonal room, designed so that no
guest might feel slighted by being placed in a corner.
Caroline Stickney's table was the first table on the right
as you enter the main dining room. It was always
reserved for her. There was one seating for dinner, and

(17:14):
if she was dining there, she was always the last
one to enter. Up until last year, a table was
set for her in the main entrance to the right.
I have to admit to being a little bombed last
time I visited to see that it was gone. An
endearing element of the design is found in the grand staircase,
featuring stairs that are wide and shallow, allowing for the

(17:36):
ladies of the day to easily travel up and down
without tripping over their skirts. In a similar vein, Caroline's
habit of watching the stairs before dinner in case she
needed to change into something more elegant is memorialized in
a painting at the hotel in the spot where the
balcony once was. During events in the dining room, along
with an orchestra, the Bretton Wood's Boys singers would perform

(17:57):
in balconies on either side of the room. Further adding
to Caroline's princess status is this popular anecdote. There was
also the hotel's indoor pool, one of the first of
its kind in the country. When Caroline Stickney was in
the mood for a swim, all of the other guests
would have to get out and leave the room until
she was finished. Under Caroline's tenure, construction added the sun

(18:19):
Dining Room with guest rooms above the fourth floor between
the towers and the chapel, honoring her late husband. Another source,
Janice Brown's article for the New Hampshire History bog claims
that Caroline was summering at the resort as latest August
of nineteen thirty four. Caroline's second husband passed in ninete
and she never remarried. Caroline died on November second, nineteen

(18:42):
thirty six, in her Providence, Rhode Island home. In nineteen
thirty eight, Caroline and Joseph were both reinterred at the
Stickney Mausoleum in Old North Cemetery. Although it's in conquered
New Hampshire, there's a tiffany window inside recreating the view
looking from the south verandah of the hotel to Crawford Notch,
a V shaped valley to the south of the resort.

(19:03):
I think it's pretty clear why Princess Caroline would still
be haunting the property and has become their most famous ghost.
But before we get to the ghost stories and deaths
on the property, I want to tell you one more
bit of very famous history that took place in the hotel.
After Caroline died, her nephew Foster Reynolds inherited the hotel
in nineteen thirty six. He had a short run with it,

(19:25):
as the hotel closed down in nineteen forty two due
to World War Two. It was only out of commission
for two years, though, because a group out of Boston
purchased the property. Now, if you have visited the hotel,
you may have walked past an elaborate room off the
Great Hall called the Gold Room. The story of how
it came to be as fascinating and historically incredibly significant.

(19:45):
Hotel business had waned during the nineteen thirties with Prohibition
and the Great Depression, not to mention the nimble automobile
taking an enormous toll in the hospitality industry. In addition
to the challenges post of the service industry by the Depression, Prohibition,
and war. Both the advent of the income tax and
Henry Ford are to blame. The affordable automobile and modern

(20:06):
roads made going up to New Hampshire easier, making the
scene less exclusive. That's when it really started to wane.
Just a couple of years earlier, when the government was
searching for an ideal location to hold a worldwide conference
to deal with the financial aftermath of the war, now
known as the Breton Woods Conference, they chose them out
Washington because of its secure location and ample room for

(20:29):
the seven hundred thirty delegates. From forty four nations that
would be attending. Before the conference began, the hotel's interior
had suffered neglect, collapsed roof, peeling wallpaper, so the federal
government sent one hundred fifty workers and new furniture and
put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the hotel, which
they had just two months to restore. Each worker was

(20:51):
given fifty cans of white paint and was told if
it didn't move, they should paint a white which is
what they did. All of the beautiful mahogany doors were
painted white, as were the brass light fixtures in the
Great Hall, and even some of the tiffany windows. The
Gold Room is where the final Articles of Agreement for
the International Monetary Conference were signed in July nineteen forty four.

(21:13):
It is this room that played an important role in
the hotel becoming a part of the National Register of
Historic Places in nineteen seventy eight. The table was originally
from Caroline Stickney's private dining room. It has ten legs
and is made of rock maple, just like Caroline's four
poster bed that's located in the Princess Room. The conference
was so important that the lighting in the room was

(21:35):
switched from electric to gas in case the hotel experienced
a power outage. It was convened in order to create
the World Bank, set up to provide long term international funds,
especially to underdeveloped countries. The International Monetary Fund the gold
standard at thirty five dollars an ounce and tied the
value of other countries currencies to the US dollar. It

(21:56):
is said that the conference was more important than the
Treaty of PSI after World War One, which devastated Germany's economy,
but the Breton Woods Conference established the economic base which
led to prosperity. After World War Two, the German economy
was rebuilt and Europe was stabilized for the first time
in centuries. Although meetings took place all over the crowded hotel,

(22:19):
the Gold Room with its fourteen chairs for the fourteen
power nations that took part in the formal signing and
doors as a tribute. So in nineteen seventy five, the
Mount Washington Hotel was added to the National Register of
Historic Places, and in nineteen eighty six it was recognized
as a National Historic Landmark. It wasn't until nineteen ninety

(22:40):
nine at the hotel stayed opened for the winter season.
Prior to that change, the hotel would close to guests
late in the fall and open in the spring. And
in January two thousand nine, the Mount Washington Resort completed
a fifty thousand square feet edition that includes a twenty
five thousand square foot spa and a twenty five thousand
square foot conference center. I love the spa, but oddly

(23:02):
I do find this to be one of the more
haunted spaces on the property. So let's get to the hauntings.
There have been a few deaths on the property. Let's
talk about notable deaths, ones that are documented and ones
that are important. Obviously, Caroline and Joseph both died elsewhere,
but some debts have occurred within the resort. According to

(23:23):
author Janice Brown, there at least two verified debts at
the hotel. Realized that in order for it to be
New York Times news, the victims had to be fairly wealthy,
so if a maid or delivery man keeled over on
the front porch, it would not be in that newspaper.
So on Friday September nineteen oh seven, Daniel Willis James,
a very wealthy merchant of New York and senior member

(23:46):
died at age seventy five at the hotel of a
heart attack. On Wednesday, August eighth, nineteen seventeen, Alfred and Beadleston, Sr.
Head of the brewing concern of Beatleston and Wortz, died
at age sixty nine of an intest tojournal hemorrhage on
the property. And in researching for this podcast, I found
another rather grizzly death that took place on the property,

(24:09):
one I'm not sure many know about. On the morning
of August nine, diners enjoying their breakfast in the main
dining room were interrupted by a woman screaming. Running to
be of aid, guests found a woman crushed between the
wall and the elevator off the main lobby. It is
believed the elevator boy lost control of the car as

(24:31):
a mss C, a cook from New Bedford, Massachusetts, was
either exiting or entering the car. She had to be
identified by her family members by her wristwatch. That elevator
is still in use today and up until a few
years ago, still required an attendant to operate it. I
am sure there are other debts on the property, as

(24:52):
many hotels tend to not advertise when tragedy happens within them.
But let's get to the hauntings and ghost stories, because
there's a lot more than I think we have time for,
so I will focus on the juicy ones. Although activity
is mentioned to occur throughout the resort, the Princess Room
holds the most concentrated activity. Many guests have been roused

(25:12):
from a sound sleep by the sensation of someone sitting
on the edge of the bed. Some have even seen
the ghost of Caroline brushing her hair and looking out
into the void of the night. In three fourteen, guests
have noted instances of lights turning on and off on
their own, as well as items disappearing and reappearing in
strange locations. Other guests reports smelling of floral perfume in

(25:33):
the room. Here's an account from an unnamed staff member
in a housekeeper was slated to clean Caroline's sweet A
newly what couple had booked the room, but when the
housekeeper knocked, there was no response from within. So the
housekeeper opened the door but found that it wasn't unoccupied.
There was a little girl sleeping on the bed. They
went into the hall and spoke with the supervisor sighting

(25:56):
the little girl as the reason why the room couldn't
be cleaned. The housekeeper was then asked to leave a
note in the room to let the guests know they'd
be back in an hour to try again. When the
housekeeper went back in the room to leave the note
by the table, they looked at the bed and instead
of a little girl, there was a woman staring right
at them with the most scary smile on her face.

(26:16):
She had black hair and was wearing a white dress.
The very startled housekeeper left the room to grab a friend,
and when they returned, room three fourteen was empty. The
day before this incident occurred, the housekeeper had taken pictures
of herself on the bed, and they wondered if perhaps
Caroline had taken offense. In a blog post for Red

(26:36):
Oak Press, yet another person detailed becoming a believer after
experiencing strange events in room three four During the first night,
the author was woken up around one am by a
scratching sound on the window sill near the sitting area.
They wondered if it might be windy outside, but before
they could get up to look, they heard one loud
clank on the pipe near the window. They claim that

(26:57):
no heat was turned on at this time, and that
they heard no indication of wind outside beyond the scratching sound.
On their second night, they went to bed around midnight,
and here's the author's account of what happened next. At
two am, the metal cover on the ice bucket in
the room fell off the empty bucket and fell to
the floor with a clang. I sat straight up in bed.
I could smell a flowery perfume in the air around me.

(27:20):
I could not budge from the bed. I do not
wear perfume, So where was this smell coming from? And
why would the lid just come off the ice bucket.
I now was convinced that there was a ghost in
the room. The next morning, we told our waitress about
what we had experienced. She just nodded with a knowing smile.
Less frequently cited, the ballroom has been a host to activity,

(27:43):
specifically that of disembodied mysteriously sourced music, and I will
say that is actually the site of my very first
experience at the hotel, which I will talk about later.
A staff member had an eerie experience in the room
on a night when no performances were scheduled they entered
the ballroom late night and to their surprise heard the
faint sounds of an orchestra playing. They thought a rehearsal

(28:05):
was going on, but when they checked, no one was there.
And then as they started to walk away, the lights
suddenly went out and the music got louder. The employee
checked the switch and sure enough it was turned off.
They turned it back on, but then the switch turned
down on its own the entire time the music kept playing.
They ran out and grabbed some security guards. However, when

(28:26):
they entered the ballroom to check, the room was silent
and the light switch responded just fine. Down the great
hall from the ballroom is the lobby, and one account
from an anonymous staff member mentioned a frequent experience where
a woman was glimsed on the mezzanine from the lobby.
When someone looked closely, she was gone. One evening, in
the hotel's bar the cave, two bartenders and two guests

(28:47):
heard aloud that at the opposite end of the bar
and a stack of tea cups and saucers they had
stacked underneath the bar came flying out at least four
ft and smashed all over the place. They had no
doubt that there was a spirit in the room, and
the guests quickly finished up their conversation and left for
the night. They never came back for a drink. New
England couple and dear friends of mine, Sarah Vickers and

(29:10):
Kyle James Patrick, have stayed at the Mount Washington Hotel
numerous times. Once Kyle said he felt pins and needles
on his feet in the middle of the night. He
also couldn't go back to bed after seeing a man's
face in the mirror on the way to the bathroom
at three in the morning. They did attend one of
My Strange Escapes weekends at the hotel and Sarah definitely
came out of that one a believer. Kyle and Sarah

(29:33):
have stayed at the Mount Washington many times on New
Year's Eve, and they almost always stayed in the Princess Room.
So there was one weekend where the group took their
party to Room three fourteen when the formal events at
the hotel ended. At some point, a random middle aged
man named Steve opened the door and came into the room.
He refused to leave. He kept going on about how

(29:56):
high he was and how he wanted to talk to
the girls. Steve was escorted out, but again snuck back in. However,
the next day there was not a trace of this
man in the hotel or lobby. No one knew who
he was. Fast forward to them visiting me at a
Strange Escapes weekend a couple of years ago. Kyle and
Sarah were having a private e v P session with

(30:18):
Adam and myself in Sweet three fourteen, and not a
lot was happening, so they decided to head back to bed,
and then things got very strange. Knowing that they always
left a light on for the sun, the couple was
surprised when the light went off about half an hour
after they all went to bed. Patrick called out to
his brother in law, thinking he turned the light off
by accident, but there was no answer. Suddenly the door

(30:41):
slams shut, so Sarah says they were very confused and
assumed it was a practical joke, but their brother in
law was in bed, unaware that anything had happened. What
they didn't realize was in that moment we were still
investigating in room three fourteen and through the spirit box,
a ghost named Steve kept calling for Kyle and asking
to party with the girls. He kept mentioning he was

(31:04):
high as a kite? Did I mention that Kyle and
Sarah had never told me that weird story with the
guy named Steve. I had no idea this had happened
to them. So we don't know who Steve is or
why he's stuck at the Mount Washington Hotel. But that's
just one of the many mysteries within that place. So
on that note, I want to talk the hauntings and

(31:26):
theories about them at Washington, and I could not think
of two better people to speak on this with than
my BFF and paranormal investigator Adam Bury and one of
my other BFFs, occult specialist and paranormal researcher, John Tenney.
So it's going to get very weird. So stay tuned
because that is coming up next. All right, So I

(32:00):
am currently sitting here with Mr Adam Burry, paranormal investigator
bff um and Mr John Tenney, occult specialist, paranormal researcher
and so full disclosure, guys. When I was trying to
figure out who to talk to about the Mount Washington Hotel,

(32:22):
you know, normally when I do these podcasts, I find
people who are closely affiliated with them and at Donnda me.
I think that we have investigated the Mount Washington probably
more than anyone else. Yeah, we go back every year
and we spend multiple nights and I go back sometimes
not affiliated, even with an event. I just go back

(32:42):
and investigate. And what I love about the Mount Washington
is that they're very open to us. You know, We've
had a lot of locations where we do investigations or
we do events, and they they kind of almost tolerate us,
where the Mount Washington very much welcomes us. And you know,
they've always kind of embraced their history with the princess

(33:04):
and everything, and so I think that has a lot
to do with it. How do you feel our reception
has been at the hotel over the years. I think
they enjoy us. I mean it changed from privately owned
right or owned back corporation, one corporation to another because
Omni took it over right, we had more access to

(33:25):
spaces when it wasn't Omni, because I think the people
before the Omni really we're like, Okay, do whatever you want.
And you know, I don't think they were so worried
about people falling and hurting themselves in spooky in spooky places.
But I think now it's a little more corporate and
they have to like dot their eyes and cross their teas,

(33:48):
and I think we might be tolerated a little bit
more now, you know, we were saying like we're tolerated.
I think that's the case. I mean, I think the
people before they were like, whatever, it's fine, go up
in that spooky cross space or whatever you want to do.
But they love it. I mean they've always been very nice. Yeah,

(34:09):
we used to be able to go into the towers.
We can't go in the towers anymore. And I can't
necessarily fault them for that because when we go in
the towers, the floor is you know, almost falling up
from underneath their feet. So there is there's probably some
you know, liability issues there. I think that one of
the reasons that we're tolerated, so you say, at the

(34:32):
Mount Washington, is because if you think about it as
an event and resort, Like when you tell an event
and a resort that you're going to bring a few
hundred people into the place, they get very worried that
it's going to be loud and raucous. And sure, we
might have the I p parties and after parties. But
we're bringing in hundreds of people who love to be

(34:55):
in a historic location and love to explore the haunted
location and are respectful of locations and so like to
bring in hundreds of people that you don't really have
to worry that much about, who are going to love
the property because of its history. I feel like for
a resort, that's one of the reasons they're like, yeah,

(35:16):
bring us, bring us people like this. Yeah, a thousand
per cent. And so that being said, just for people listening,
I do own a company called Strange Escapes where we
plan like basically paranormal vacations for people, and we do
them at the Mount Washington every year. And so we
show up with a few hundred of our closest paranormal
friends and fans, and we kind of take over the

(35:38):
hotel and it's a weekend filled with investigations and lectures
and learning and really good energy. And I think that
kind of raises the vibe at the hotel and results
in some really interesting activity. But to your point, John,
when you tell a hotel a resort that you want
to bring in those people and just kind of sit
in the dark all night, and be as quiet as possible.

(35:59):
They're like, oh, please bring in all your ghost hunting friends.
You know, we're not like some crazy wedding or a
conference like. These are people who like their whole point
is to experience the location to such an extent that
they will be quiet and still for hours on end.
And that seems to me like a kind of a
dream for some of these hotels, right, It's like they

(36:22):
spend a lot of money at the bar, they eat
a lot of food, and they are quiet as mice. Yeah, exactly,
that's a dream. So any other haunted locations listening, feel
free to invite us. We're a lot of fun. My
history with the Mount Washington goes back really far. The
first time I went there, I think I still lived

(36:43):
in California. I went there for an event. I showed
up in the middle of the night, and you know,
I had flown all day, had driven hours, had never
been to this place, and I remember driving for what
seemed like forever up in those New Hampshire white mountains
in like pitch darkness, and then suddenly you kind of

(37:03):
turned the bend and there is this majestic, insanely lit
hotel in the middle of nowhere, and there's really no
words to describe the first time you lay eyes on
the Mount Washington Hotel, like it is just it's beyond anything.
We've all traveled a lot. It is my favorite hotel
I have ever been to. We go back regularly, but

(37:24):
I do remember that first night, pulling in and kind
of walking into the lobby, getting checked in, and then
wanting to check out the event space. I think it's
probably one or two in the morning, and so I
was with my event organizers at the time, and we
all together kind of went or there were three of us.
We walked into the ballroom. It was all dark, but
it was already set for our lectures the next day,

(37:46):
and we walked in and just kind of checked it out.
And I remember as we were walking out, I turned
to one of them and I was like, it feels
kind of different in here. It feels weird in here.
And right end we heard this woman's laugh. This is
kind of like like this, very like dramatic like laugh.

(38:08):
We all heard it. We looked around. This place was
desolate at that time of night, and we were there
in the off season very much on purpose, and I
remember being like, Wow, I've been here five minutes and
I've heard this this like crazy laugh out of nowhere.
So each of you, like, what were your first experiences
with the hotel or what were your not even first
but just like maybe you're more notable. I know, Adam,

(38:30):
you've had the craziest experience. For me, you're absolutely right.
Like I remember driving to the Mount Washington for the
first time and thinking to myself, there is nothing here,
and then you make that turn and you're like, oh,
there's a magical wonderland here, like there's all of a sudden,
it just appears like a ghost, it just shows up.

(38:53):
And then for me, I think the first night I
was there, it was late at night, it was probably
two or three in the morning, and I was just
walking the hallways, being quiet, trying to get a feel
for the building. And I knew that people would be
coming for the event and that they were interested in
ghosts and stuff. And so I heard a man talking

(39:14):
to a woman and they were down the hallway from me,
and I thought, oh, these people are up late, they're
probably interested in ghosts as well, So I will sneak
up behind them and give them a little ghostly shock.
So I walked faster down the hallway, and they were
staying ahead of me. And then I came around a
corner and started to go down the stairs, and I

(39:36):
could still hear them in the stairwell, but then they
stopped talking and I went further down the stairs and
I was out of the hallway, so I could kind
of run down the stairs. And I ran down the
stairs and there was no one at the bottom of
the stairs, and I was like, I've been here fifteen
minutes and I just chased a man and a woman
who don't exist through the hallways. Yeah. Yes, And it's

(40:03):
weird because a lot of those experiences and a lot
of those kind of people encountered and seen don't necessarily
line up historically or as far as like death's on
record and everything with the property. And I'm very curious
as to why. Like so, Adam, your experience resonates very

(40:24):
much with me, if you want to talk about it,
because it's like it's so out of character for what
anyone would expect from the hotel, and so earlier in
the first half the podcast, we did talk about our
friends Kyle and Sarah and their experience with Steve, who
was clearly some guy from a more modern time who

(40:45):
was very interested in like meeting girls and getting high,
and like this was this guy like not at all
like a death that was on record with the hotel
or anything you would expect from the princess. She would
be appalled at that behavior. And your experience in mind
me a lot of that. Yeah. So it was the
first time I had ever been to the Mount Washington.
It was April of twenty eleven. Actually, wow, pull that

(41:10):
out of my just pull it out, um. And we
were investigating it at this point. We were we were
allowed to investigate the towers, which you can't get into anymore.
But when we investigate, we investigate in small groups. And
so at the beginning of every group there are dues
and don't because we were in this space, it was like,
please don't go, you know, into the middle of the space.

(41:33):
There's a giant glass ceiling thing that you could fall through. Anyway.
I was giving instructions and I said, okay, go and investigate.
And I turned around to watch people leave. And I
turned back around and there's this woman standing in front
of me. She has black hair, bangs, long straight hair.
She's wearing a gray sweatshirt, red sweatpants, old ish rebox

(41:56):
and she's holding a diet coke bottle and she's looking
at me, and I say, I'm like, can I did
you hear what I said? I gave all the instructions
are you Are you familiar? And she was like, no,
I'm not. And then I repeated myself and all the instructions,
and I got to and I don't go in there
because if you go up there, you could trip and
fall through that glass ceiling and that would not be

(42:18):
I mean, and you could die. And I was like
making a joke about it, because you know, and she goes, oh,
that'd be okay, And she's just staring at me in
my face, holding this diet coke bottle. And I noticed
at this point, like the diet coke bottles a little
dirty there. It's about an inch of water, brown murky water.
Maybe there's some cigarette butts in it. It's just so

(42:39):
weird and out of place and out of character. And
she's staring at me through me, looking at me, and
I said, hold on a second, and I turned around
my back. I turned my back to her, and I
look into this other room to check on these people
and say, how is it going there like it's great,
and then I go, oh, my gosh, she's not wearing
a lanyard. Maybe she crashed the event because we have

(43:03):
crashers sometimes. And I turned back around to confront her
about it, and she is gone. And the weird thing
is when you get to that tower, you go up
an entire flight of stairs to get there, and when
you open and close the door to get into the stairs,
it is very loud. That did not happen. She did
not go downstairs. So I started making my way around

(43:23):
this octagon, you know, tower, looking in every room to
be like, where is this woman? Where is this woman?
Where's this woman? I screamed for everybody to come back
to me, and I asked them. I was like, have
you seen this woman? And nobody knew who I was
talking about. No one had seen her. I was the
only person that saw her. No one. And I asked
every single group all night long. I remember asking you.

(43:44):
I probably asked Tenny if he was there, Like you know,
I was telling everyone who would listen, and I kept
looking for this woman and I couldn't find her. And
then months later I was at another event, and this
is when the hotel would send somebody to events to
get people to come and hunt ghosts, and the sky
sees me come in the door and he belines it
for me and he says, Adam, we've seen her, And

(44:07):
I was like, who, And it has to be reminded.
He was like that woman that you talked about. We've
seen her, but every time we see her, she's down
at the end of a hallway, turning a corner, or
she's going somewhere, you know, and they can't catch up
to her. Like she goes down the hallway where there's
no exit and she's not there. And she looks like that.
I mean, she looks like she's wearing the sweatpants and

(44:28):
she has the It's the weirdest thing because it looks
like a person. And I was talking to her and
I had no doubt in my mind that it was
a person until she was it wasn't a person. Well,
John brings that up a lot in his lectures. How
you know how many ghosts have we seen that we
just had no idea where ghosts? You know, how how
many times have we seen an apparition that just looked

(44:51):
so real that we went about our day and we
had no idea that this was someone you know who
was potentially a ghost. And you know, going back in
the history of the mountawah Rington, there really aren't any
recorded modern deaths on property, but that doesn't necessarily mean
they don't exist. You know, a lot of these kind
of bigger hotels and things, they don't really advertise that

(45:12):
when you go back and look at deaths that took
place there in the early nineteen hundreds or whatever, when
there was all these like very well to do people
there and things. There were two documented deaths of two gentlemen.
But like I mean, these people arrived with kind of
a cavalcade of like servants and you know, helpers and assistants.
If any of those people died, that would not have

(45:33):
been in the New York Times. And then even so
later on and so I did uncover one death that
we did talk about earlier, but I don't know that
you guys know about it. But I did find one
really gruesome death that happened on property in the twenties.
And basically everyone was at breakfast one morning. This was
they're all at breakfast. They hear a woman screaming from
the lobby. People run to the lobby and they find

(45:57):
this woman basically crushed between the wall and that elevator
in the lobby right there. So the elevator boy had
that that's what they called him in the newspaper article.
By the way, the elevator boy his title, had lost
control of the elevator either when she was getting on
or getting off, and she basically was crushed between the

(46:17):
wall and the elevator, and her family had to identify
her only by her wrist watch. Good lord gnarly. And
that elevator has been in use, I mean the elevators
in use today. I mean now they don't have an attendant.
When we first started going, there was an attendant, but
there's not one there anymore. But that's the only other
like really crazy death I could find there. But that

(46:38):
does not explain your diet coke lady, or the people
that John Tenny saw. Right. I have a new theory
and I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it. So
every time we go to the Mount Washington, I bring
up this story because you know, the drive is long.
It's like going to the Shining Hotel, you know. And
I we were talking about this story again and Ben

(46:58):
was like looking at photos and it was like, does
this did this look like her? Because we're trying to
figure out what she looks like. And I look at
the picture and I said, oh, sort of like she
could be a relative of that person, like a cousin
or aunt, like the same features. And he was like,
that's the princess. And so I was like, what if?
What if? Because of because this woman wanted to know

(47:20):
why I was there, wanted to know why I was
leading the group, what I was doing in the space
I wasn't supposed to be in. What if the Princess
just manifested herself as something as close as she could
get to modern day so that I would talk to her,
Because if she showed up in victorian dress, I'd be
like whoa and like running around with my flappy arms,

(47:41):
like breaking out. I don't know. After having heavily researched
the Princess the last couple of weeks, I feel like
that could be a possibility, But I don't think she
would show up as a woman with a coke bottle
with cigarette butts in it and sweatpants, Like that is
not our princess. Okay, you know what? Like the algorithm

(48:04):
got off and like she's like well, this will have
to do. But it's like I felt like as if
you know, she is just showing me herself as something,
so I will talk to her because she needed that information,
Like why are you here, what are you doing? What's happening?
I don't know. I just thought it was really really weird.
And you know, I've never seen her again. And every
time I go, I sometimes I just sit in hallways

(48:26):
and like watch for her and wait, you know, I've
never seen her again. So maybe this is putting it
out in the universe. We're all going to see her
next this this November when we go back to your
to your point though, Adam, like, maybe she's not manifesting
those clothes and that dirty coke bottle, but I mean,
because we don't really know why ghosts wear clothes and

(48:48):
and where they get their clothes from, Like maybe it
is her, but your brain is manifesting her in a
way that doesn't scare you and make you run around
with your arms flapping and breaking out. Like maybe maybe
your brain couldn't see it at that time in that
spooky way, and so your brain put her in a

(49:11):
normal outfit. A very relaxing woman from the eighties with
a dirty cigarette butt filled Coca Cola bottle. I mean,
maybe we're learning something new about Adam Barry exactly. That's
an internal like an internal weird thing I need to
work through. We've talked about this before though, there's a

(49:34):
at least one of the ideas that we've we've I know,
we've spoken about and I talked about it lectures. Is.
One of the difficulties with ghost hunting any place is
that sometimes these entities or spirits or ghosts show up
and we don't know who they are, and we don't
know why they're there. And maybe it's because they are
on a type of vacation. Maybe they go to the

(49:56):
places that they loved and they just check in and
walk around owned because they loved it when they were alive,
and so it's not that they died there. It's that
now that they're not tethered to their body, they can
go anywhere they want, so they go to the places
that they love. I mean, I would one hundred percent
if I was a ghost, I would one hundred go

(50:17):
back to the Mount Washington, Like it's one of my
happy places. As you guys don't, like, we go there
all the time and I could definitely see myself in
like spirit form being like, you know what, I'm gonna
go check up on the Mount Washington and see what's
going on there and like have those feels, you know,
get that nostalgia. So that being said, something that has

(50:38):
kind of done, not necessarily related, but just something that
I've thought about more now, just because you know, Charlotte
loves hiking, and so she and mr X mr X
being my significant other that chooses to remain unnamed, um
mr X, she and uh Jimmy, they go hiking a
lot up there, Like she's hiped Mount Washington twice now

(51:01):
and like you know, she's eight. She loves it. But
every time they go up there, I you know, I do,
being the morbid person I am. They'll go on to
like a certain mountain, and I will of course google,
like you know, Eisenhower deaths, and I will learn about
people who died hiking up there and hiking, especially back
when the Mount Washington was first. I mean, obviously it's

(51:23):
a huge part of that now, a huge component of
it now, but even back in like the early nineteen hundreds,
like they forged a lot of trails back there and stuff,
and there were a lot of deaths, and there are
a lot of deaths of people who were staying at
the hotel and never made it back they went out.
I mean, keep in mind, we're talking millions of people

(51:43):
hiking there over the years, but there are moments where
people like that staff has that job of cleaning out
that room of someone that didn't make it back from
a hike. It's very rare, and so sometimes I wonder that, like,
are those people kind of you know, they didn't die
on property, But it's just interesting because there is that
weird energy there. I don't know, I'm I'm reaching. Maybe

(52:06):
it makes sense though. Also you're talking about the land
it's built on being you know, it's very beautiful. Native
Americans were around there. I know that you and I
have had many weird experiences down in the lecture area
in the SPA, And I actually brought that up in
the history earlier, was that, like, we have found that

(52:27):
to be one of the most haunted places in the hotel,
even though it's new to the structure, and they have
since added on to that, there's a whole other wing
of new rooms. What's really weird is that when you
pull up you don't see any of that, Like they've
really done it cleverly. Were like you pull up, but
it is still very much the original facade of the hotel.
You do not see the spa wing or the new rooms.

(52:47):
It just looks exactly like it did when it was built.
But in the back there are these new structures. But
we've investigated the Presidential wing many times and had really
crazy experiences. So John, maybe you can speak to that,
Like why do you think that area would be more
haunted or have so much activity? Well, I think people
who ghost hunt and go on investigations. We know this.

(53:10):
Like whenever a house is being rebuilt or an addition
is being put on, like that seems to kick up activity.
And it's almost like if there are spirits and entities
who are used to roaming the halls, like oh now
I have a new area to go into, like and
and plus people, you know, whether we think about this

(53:30):
in the forefront of our mind, but like when you're
building something, you have people doing a craft, usually something
they love. They're putting their like emotional energy into building
a new whole segment, and they might talk about people
are gonna get married here, and people are going to
have memories here, and people are going to stay here,

(53:51):
and that intentional energy might even act like a magnet
to the entities that are already in the other parts
of the hotel, like what is happening? Why are so
many people thinking about this other area where there's nothing,
where it's being constructed, And so they go and hang
out and they see all the activity and they're like, oh, well,
I'm gonna see what happens over here. And now that

(54:12):
new part is as haunted as the rest of the place.
I will say one of my best friends, she didn't
really know the history there. I told her that we
were doing an offense there or whatever, and she said,
you won't believe this. I was at the spa one time,
the the spa, you know, not not in the main hotel,
and she was like, I was getting a massage, and

(54:33):
she said, and the woman left for whatever reason, and
she said, I felt like someone literally started pushing down
on my chest so hard. She was like, I couldn't breathe.
I was gasping for air. And she was like, I
had the worst feeling. And she's like, I literally had
to throw myself off of the massage table and I

(54:55):
had to get her. I had to convince her to
come back to the hotel. I was like, it's fine.
That was it's like, you know, in my brain, I
was like, it's so weird because that, like we've said,
like that is seemingly one of the more haunted spots
in the hotel, and she had this experience like completely,
you know this, She's not into ghost or anything. I
will say I've had many massages there and I've never

(55:16):
had that experience and would go back anytime. But it's
just so weird that, you know, she had no idea
of the history or that it was haunted and she
had this wild experience there. Well, you know, we always
talked to about like the different types of experiences. And
one of the things that I don't mention very much
because it's one of my little I feel like it's
a personal, little not trick, but I don't know what

(55:37):
the good word is. But when I'm at places like
the Mount Washington, I'm a cigarette smoker, and so I'm
super sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke and there
are places like the Mount Washington where I can tell
if activity quote unquote ghostly activity is going to kick
up in an area because I start to smell cigarette smoke,

(55:58):
and then I remember at these locations, the majority of
the time they've been open, people used to smoke inside
of them, and so I feel like my brain is
like up, someone smoking in here, and I know that
they're not. I know that no one's smoking in the building,
but it's almost like that's how the spirit or the

(56:18):
ghost figures out a way to let me know that
they're there. I don't know if that's stranger now. No,
I think they're very personable. I cannot pinpoint what goes
on in that place. People always ask me, what is
the most haunted place you've been in the US, And
I'm like, the Mount Washington Hotel, like, hands down to me,
is the most haunted place I've been. I've been into
asylums and hospitals and crazy things, but like the Mount Washington,

(56:43):
something always happened. You Know, there was a night where,
like my the light in my room kept going on
and off, and like I would get up and I
could hear it flicking back on, and I would be like,
you need to turn this light off, and then finally
it would turn off. And you know, things like that
happen all the time. There was a time where Charlotte
and I my water we rented a room there in March,
which is very much slow season there because ski season

(57:05):
is winding down, and we were one of three rooms
checked in into that entire hotel, and Charlotte was just
running circles around the lobby and there was like a
blizzard that night, and we were up with than one
of the tower suites and the wind was howling and
I literally was living like my haunted life in that moment.

(57:28):
It was like, there is no place more haunted than this.
I was gonna say, I think the hotel remembers us. Oh,
it totally does. I've been there so many times. I
feel that, Yeah, it's like has a mind of its own.
And you know, we have our fun things that we
always do when we're there, right, we have we always
do like sort of the same things to go to
the spot, or we have a cocktail in the same spot,

(57:50):
or we watch an episode of Kindred Spirits, you know,
with a group of people, and we make these lasting memories.
But I don't think the tel forgets us. And when
we return, it's like, oh, welcome back. Let's like, let
me show you this new thing I've got to show
you today. It's it's fascinating and I wish, I mean

(58:11):
I sort of wish I could live there. Did you
have you talked about the portrait of Stickney? I haven't.
I was going to talk about that in the end,
So everybody stay tuned. I'm going to give you a
little four one one. Yeah, it's a it's a doozy
it is. And like what you were saying, I think
we might be the only people who go up there
regularly and talked to the hotel. I think people go

(58:34):
up there, they experienced the hotel, and they do their thing,
and they have their weddings and they have their vacations.
But I think all of us have like an active
conversation with her. I'm going to call her her well
and to the extent, like to the extreme about like
Adam saying that the hotel remembers us. So the first
time I was at the hotel, I did the investigation

(58:58):
out in the area where they have of the horses
and a pig and the stable. Yeah, the stable, and
nothing really seemed to happen. Every year since that time,
when I go out into the stables, the activity in
the stables is like, Oh, it's Tenny and those people again,

(59:20):
because the last time we were hearing horses outside of
the stable and people were seeing little shapes move around
on the floor that looked like dogs and pigs and cows,
and so it's like even the animals like love them
out Washington to the extent that they're staying there. Yeah.

(59:40):
I mean, I think this was the best unpaid for
advertisement for the Mont Washington they've ever had amongst us
spooky people. Yeah, they're listening upgrade every time we It's
just one of my favorite places. And I just I
feel like what you guys was. I think that it's
very easy for people to go up there and have

(01:00:01):
a beautiful, lovely vacation. But if you're into ghosts and
you want to shift your focus and maybe try to
experience something there, I think it's pretty easy. And it's
also like very safe and secure, and so it's a
good spot for people like us. So and I feel
like we just scratched the surface, by the way, because
I know we've all had way more experience and we

(01:00:21):
could literally talk about them at Washington for six hours
maybe more. But just tell me like individually, like John,
I know you have a podcast happening, tell us where
people can find you and you know how to support you.
So my podcast is called What's Up Weird? Though it's
not paranormal at all. It's just two people, two friends,
talking to each other. But all of my social media

(01:00:42):
is just John E. L Tenny. That's Twitter, Instagram, all
of it. Or you can just type Tenny Weirdo into
Google and follow where it leads you. That's fabulous. Mr Barry.
I know you don't have anything going on, so I'm
just gonna end this right now, and I'm just kidding.
Anything happen. You know, you can watch Candred Spirits. I
feel like there's going to be a new season around

(01:01:03):
the corner at some point. Whenever you're listening to this podcast,
stay tuned. Oh this is coming out very soon. But
our new season is coming out early early next year, right,
So I'm doing that and then you can follow me
find me on the social just google Adambury, Instagram's Adambury.
My Twitter is Adam J. Berry because the Adam Bury

(01:01:24):
in the UK will not give it to me, so
that's okay. But we're friends now, so that's that's a plus.
I think you just haven't you need to up your
your price for that? He was like, why would I
sell it? It's my name and I'm like, okay, fine,
like it's also my name's also well. Thank you so much,

(01:01:47):
you guys. I can't wait for us to get back
to the Mount Washington in November. Although by the time
people listen to this might not be November, but we
are up there almost every November of every year with
my company, Strange Escape. So check it out and join us.
Thank you, guys, love you. I'm so happy to have
had this conversation. My thank you for joining me on

(01:02:09):
this extremely deep dive into the Mount Washington resort and
all of its hauntings. I don't claim to know what's
going on there, because it's not a haunting that fits
any textbook haunting by any means. I do know that
despite every strange and maybe slightly scary experience I've had there,
I keep going back, and we'll always go back. It

(01:02:31):
will continue to be a special spot for me and
my family, and that veranda with those spectacular mountain views,
will always be my happy place. I did just want
to say a quick thank you to all of you
who have enjoyed season one of Haunted Road. We are
already very much at work on season two and your

(01:02:52):
support and your comments and reviews and feedback have just
been incredible. So thank you for getting weird with me
every Wednesday. And I can't wait to be back with
season two, so we will be talking again soon. I'm
