Hawthorne Hotel
Is the hotel haunted?
Some guests say we are haunted. We have a couple of rooms that are infamous for this reason. We find that if you are looking for a spooky experience, you may get one. On the other hand, most of our guests do not have a haunted experience.

Ghosts and Other Mysteries
The land on which Joshua Ward chose to build his house was where Sheriff George Corwin lived and maintained his jail in the 1680s. It was Corwin’s self-appointed duty to interrogate anyone suspected of witchcraft, as well as carry out the accused’s death sentence. For this reason, our building has a reputation of its own for ghosts and mystery — even in a town full of intrigue and hauntings. Local legend has it that perhaps the spirits of a few innocent victims of Sheriff Corwin still roam our halls. One of these is a woman sporting wild, black hair who “turned up” in a photograph taken by a former tenant of 148 Washington Street. We’ve never seen or felt her (or anyone else), but we leave that up to you, your senses and your imagination!
