‘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”, says General Manager Maggie Smith, “she passed away in this bed.”
There have been reports of things moving around, temperature changes and the feeling that someone is in the room with guests.
