Among Montpelier’s prestigious courthouses and countryside cabins are stomach-churning entities that keep many locals awake late into the night. They don’t take well to intrusion, and their bone-chilling stories make a stroll through town akin to a waking nightmare. 

Bitter Beginnings and Bitter Ends

From Montpelier’s humble beginnings, a verdant yet bloodied canvas of log cabins and pioneers, came the iconic monuments and structures visited by many today in the picturesque city. But somewhere along the way, a surge of darkness consumed many of these seemingly innocent structures thanks to the town’s unstable and violent past. 

Venture with Montpelier Ghosts to Christ Episcopal Church to unravel the curse of Black Agnes, a tale that will leave you with chills.

Locals know well of the fatal car accidents, career-ending injuries, and tragic endings between friends believed to be caused by Black Agnes. So will you, with Montpelier Ghosts by your side. 

What Will I See?

Visit Montpelier’s Most Haunted Locations, Including:

• Greenmount Cemetery – Greenmount Cemetery is home to “Black Agnes,” Montpelier’s most famous tombstone and aggressive haunting. Misfortune seems to befall anyone who dares sit on the massive copper statue’s lap, as three young boys found out in the 1950s when the curse of Black Agnes chased these three adventurers to their graves. 

• Washington County Courthouse – One of the most haunted courthouses in the United States, the Washington County Courthouse dates back to 1881 and harbors dark secrets hidden in its many shadowy hallways.

• Vermont College of Fine Arts – Strange occurrences are reported all around the Vermont College of Fine Arts. Many believe them to be connected to the gruesome murders that cursed the nearby courthouse. Strange tappings on the windows and the apparitions of a woman named Michelle are but a few of the disturbing hauntings here. 

Politics and Poltergeists

Montpelier is known for unseen entities roaming in the shadows and seeking vengeance from beyond the grave as much as it is for being the home of James Madison. Politics and poltergeists often collide in a catastrophic plume of spiritual energy. The clerks and staff of the Washington County Courthouse know this better than anyone. 

Journey with Montpelier Ghosts to one of the most haunted courthouses in the nation, the Washington County Courthouse, where it seems that some cases just won’t stay shut. Whispers in shadowy hallways and the sounds of glass shattering in the night have alerted many to the ghostly presence in their beloved courthouse. 

One unlucky woman found herself face-to-face with the image of a gaunt and deranged face of another woman on her computer one evening. Book your spot on a Montpelier walking ghost tour today to learn about this intrusive spirit that still can’t handle her final judgment and see what other secrets lay hidden in the streets of Montpeculiar. 

Horrors Travel Fast In A Small Town

Gather around the illustrious campus of the Vermont College of Fine Arts to learn how Annie Wheeler’s murder has turned multiple buildings into ghostly prisons. It is believed the young Wheeler, engaged to Mildred Brewster’s love interest, Jack Wheeler, was killed near the campus. Now, her spirit causes a commotion to protest the eternal damnation she found herself in. 

Teachers and students have seen clocks fly off the wall, pictures shatter, and windows rattling, among other chilling signs of her specter. Look towards the third and fourth floors, and you may see one of these windows fly open. But there, it likely won’t be a student peeking back at you. 

The school’s spirits are plentiful thanks to the many accidents that have plagued Montpelier over the generations. From floods to fire, Vermont’s tiny capital city has been devastated countless times. Could this be why the spirit of a former student named Michelle has been seen wandering the halls in a long flowing dress? 

Why is Montpelier so Haunted?

Pavillion of Lost Souls

Montpelier Ghosts invites you to stand outside the Vermont Historical Society Museum, where this haunting truth is an eerie reality. Once a grand hotel called The Pavillion, the museum has seen various visitors come and go. If these walls could talk, there would be a documented showcase of Motpeculiar’s most vile events and people. But the ghosts of the city’s horrid past do the talking for them. 

Many visitors to the historical society hear the icy chill of the dead speaking almost as soon as they enter. Listen closely as Montpelier Ghosts exposes the tragic story of Sally, a tortured and drug-addled young woman who came to Montpelier with an esteemed politician. She succumbed to her vices while trying to cure her addiction at the nearby Keely Institute. 

Her spirit now walks the fourth floor of the Vermont Historical Society Museum, where she stayed during this sad time of her life, unable to forget her untimely demise. Her cries echo through the hallways; many have seen her peering from the floor’s easternmost window. The legend of the Weeping Woman is just one of many spine-tingling tales you’ll hear on this walking ghost tour of Montpelier. 

Withdrawn From The World of The Living

Learn about the secretive world of Montpelier’s Keeley Institute and its role in one of Vermont’s darkest chapters. This nationally renowned center for alcohol and drug treatment became a haven for drug addicts and alcoholics, flooding Montpelier for the Insitute’s controversial “Gold Treatment.” However, few realized they would never again step out into the shiny world of the living. 

Uncover the fate of those who didn’t make it out alive from The Keeley Institute. Closed in 1965, its once-restorative hallways became offices, but the blood-curling screams of drug-addicted souls still ring out into the night. One unfortunate employee witnessed her closet door flying open on its own accord. Some hear giggles echoing down the empty hallways. But what would a child be doing in a place that was full of such sin and pain?

The dark, twisted, and macabre tale of a three-year-old girl succumbing to opiate addiction at the haunted Keely Institute is exposed to those daring to listen. It is a heartbreaking tale not for the meek that reveals the seedier side of Montpelier that seldom hear about.
