Ghostly apparitions have been seen here since it was first built back in 1874, originally as the home of Zepaniah Eddy. Of course, it’s worth mentioning that the two of Eddy’s three young children (brothers William and Horatio) claimed to be mediums from an early age, as they were descendants of a long line of psychics. After a traumatic childhood, during which the brothers were beaten by their father and suffered abuse on the sideshow circuit, the duo returned home and converted their old house into the Green Tavern and Inn, where they held séances. Despite the attempts of attorney Henry Steel Olcott to debunk the claims and events that took place there, some of which he actually witnessed, he had no luck. Eventually, Olcott wrote People From Other Worlds to authenticate the Eddys. Although some people have since claimed to have figured out some of the brothers’ tricks, many people still believe the Eddy house is scary enough to make Eddie Munster shiver.
