Connecticut's Haunted History Trail
Every state has a few ghost stories. Connecticut has enough to fill a map.
Enter a state of restless sea captains, watchful innkeepers, and former residents who remain very attached to their homes. Here, spirits gather in historic taverns, women in white wander country roads, lighthouse keepers work well past retirement, and hotel guests have been known to stay indefinitely.
Use this map to explore the legends, lore and very real history behind Connecticut’s most spirited places. What you find is between you and the spirits. But you’ll certainly find that our reputation as one of the most haunted states in the country wasn’t conjured from thin air.
