DESCRIPTION / HISTORY
This 3
story, charming Victorian B & B Inn, is made up of two connected 1887 Victorian
homes, offering 25 rooms for its guests. Who ever attached these two homes did
a fabulous job! The old study, library and other rooms has been made into guest
rooms, which are nicely decorated, and some have fireplaces.
One guest
gave a review on tripadvisor.com,
and explained about their Study Bedroom. "We stayed in the 'Study' with a
huge brass bed, fireplace, reading alcove and a separate "anti-room" for our two
children. Cookies, and a wide assortment of beverages are served nightly in the
large parlor and we enjoyed breakfast in the restaurant which is in the restored
house next door (attached). This B&B is full of history and charm and a very welcome
relief from cookie cutter hotel chains."
MANIFESTATIONS:
Old
homes often come with unseen residents.
The mischievous entity
of the little girl, who must of been a handful when she was alive, does most of
the mischief around the inn.
Staff and guests have seen
a rambunctious apparition of a little girl who likes to run through both houses,
laughing loudly, like any exuberant live child full of energy would do!
Pictures
and decorations hung securely on the walls also have been known to lift off their
hooks and propel themselves, flying into the room.
Items on shelves also
are pushed or pulled off by an unseen presence.
Other entities
may be keeping her company!
In various rooms and areas in
both houses, the living have reported feeling unexplained cold spots which cause
goose bumps and sometime shivers.
These unknown entities (or entity) like
to get their chuckles as well, sometimes doing things to surprise the living,
with the effect of giving a fright but never in a threatening manner.
PSYCHIC
RESEARCH
Haunted Times magazine is offering a series of seminars on hunting
ghosts. The Hearthstone Inn in Colorado Springs is on the list. Senior editor
Christopher Moon is leading seminars here at Hearthstone Inn on the upcoming dates:
October 22, 28, and 29, November 26, and December 31, 2005: 800-521-1885
"We
teach people how to use their own cameras and video cameras to get results," said
senior editor Christopher Moon.
STILL
HAUNTED?
Yes.
Someone's little angel still
resides in these two houses. She may have lost her way to the other side, but
she is entertaining herself. Perhaps members of her family have stayed behind
as well, or other entities attached to these homes may keep her company.
