We have two spirits in our Inn, both happy and content (luckily). There's a female upstairs in the Garden Room and a male that walks around downstairs (mostly kitchen & dining room). We've named them Helen & Silvester. We learned about them 3 months into our ownership when hobby ghost hunters showed up with suitcases of equipment. They set stuff up all over the house (with our permission), then slept all day & stayed up all night. Cecilia hear audio of the male in the kitchen and often feels him standing next to her while she cooks. She also hears Helen upstairs (the Garden Room is over the office) and it sounds like she's moving furniture. I'm just glad their not the type to toss things at the back of my head!
We actually heard Silvester as we were preparing breakfast last week - the first time I've ever heard either of them. There was heavy pacing footsteps in the main hallway outside the kitchen. Usually this is followed by someone either walking into the kitchen looking for coffee or walking past the kitchen to the door to take their luggage outside. We didn't see either, so I went into the hallway and circled around through the dining room back into the kitchen. No one. More footsteps. Cecilia checked the same route. Nothing. More footsteps. We agreed aloud that it was Silvester and then the footsteps stopped. It was very loud and the hallway isn't long enough for that many footsteps in a row without being seen in one of the doorways.
Guest stories: Heavy, boot footsteps up & down the stairs in the night, door handle jiggling, furniture moving (from our only carpeted room), piano playing (our piano is terribly out of tune with broken strings, but apparently the ghost overcame and played beautifully).
We've had many local spiritual people in the house and they all say they can feel them and that they are happy we are running the place. I'm glad they approve!.
