Sayre Mansion

From 1858 until 1916, this was the home of the Robert Heysham Sayre family (though Robert died in 1907, family remained until 1916) and is said to have at least two haunted rooms, numbers 23 and 32. 



Those who visit the inn and stay in room 23 may encounter the vision of a ghostly female in the bathroom mirror. As this was once the bedchamber of Mrs. Sayre, it has been suggested that the ghost is hers, but that raises another question - which Mrs. Sayre is it? Robert Sayre was married four times, though only had children by the first wife and the last one. Martha Finley Nevin married Robert in 1882 and had three boys, John Nevin, Francis Bowes and Cecil Nevin. The middle son, Francis Bowes Sayre, added his own bit of fame to the family when he married President Wilson's daughter, Jessie in 1913.

Room 32 on the third floor, once the area used by the family staff and the children, also has had its share of reports,a s visitors have noted a dark shape that seems to come out of the wall. The youngest Sayre son, Cecil, only lived for a year, so perhaps it is his spirit that remains in the room.
