"Built in 1722 as a tavern the Logan Inn, now plays host to numerous spirits – including the mother of the former owner, Emily, who plays tricks on guests by rearranging their luggage and playing with the room’s heater.

"The general manager says, 'Emily is what they call the spirit that roams the halls. When she was living she used to live in the Inn.' The things that still remain that belong to Emily is the bed that
people sleep in and the portrait on the wall … She passed away in this bed.”

Another ghostly resident is a little girl who is often seen wandering the halls, says the blog site.
