THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The former Southern Vermont College campus occupies the historic Everett Mansion, long associated with reports of apparitions, mysterious lights, footsteps, and unexplained paranormal activity.
Here at Bennington, many ghosts are said to roam and photographic images show mysterious figures. One of the many apparitions seen here is a person in a black hooded robe, and phantom smoke sometimes fills the halls. Witnesses have reported lights that turn on locked rooms, door and windows that unlock by themselves and disembodied footsteps. In the former carriage house, now a computer lab, the apparition of a man in period clothing is said to walk around.
