WOODBURY, CT — If you're looking for a spooky time in Connecticut this fall, then the former Curtis House Inn in Woodbury is where you want, according to Thrillist. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay once featured the state's oldest inn on the TV show Hotel Hell, bringing in a paranormal investigator to corroborate centuries of claims that the hotel is in fact haunted.
"Ramsay’s unsettling difficulty exiting his room during a five-day stay could have been due to faulty hardware, but try telling that to the guests who’ve reported disembodied voices, mysterious footsteps, and unwelcome otherworldly bedfellows throughout the inn’s 265-year history," the article reads. "Apparent entities are believed to be the former inn owners, guests, and -- perhaps most terrifying for anyone who works there -- former employees who clocked in, but never clocked out."
Curtis House Inn has been renamed the Evergreen Inn & Tavern. The 506 Main St. South location was closed for renovations earlier this year, then reopened under the new name in the summer.

"I have been aware of the haunting of the Curtis House for a very long time," Warren told Patch. "My husband and family have gone there. There is a bedroom upstairs, that first bedroom, that room always seem to very active. Sometimes when people come here from out of state for visits, I always ask them if they want to stay at a real haunted inn."
The inn was built in 1736 by Anthony Stoddard and began accepting guests in 1754, according to its website. The rooms offer "a perfect balance of historic character and modern amenities. " The inn also includes a restaurant with specialty cocktails, Sunday brunch, and live music on the weekends.
