Following are the most haunted places in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where ancient legends and dark myths are brought to life in the shadowy corners of historic landmarks. These places hold secrets that have yet to be uncovered, with each creaking floorboard and cold breeze hinting at restless souls trapped between worlds.
The Chicken Box
: "A former chicken coop that was used as a speakeasy during prohibition and is now a popular bar and nightspot. In the early morning hours one winter, a person reported seeing a number of people in the parking lot dragging a case about the size of a refrigerator. The police were dispatched, but as their headlamps and spotlights passed over the people, they disappeared. After the police left, the men returned and dragged the box closer to the bar. The person who had reported them before saw one in her car. The police were dispatched again and again they disappeared when the light hit them. The police left, the men reappeared and managed to get the box inside. The next morning the woman tried to start her car only to find that the battery had gone dead."
Coffin House
: "An elderly man sits in a rocking chair by the fire place."
Main St
: "near the steamship, theirs feeling that something pushes you to the water."
Old North Cemetery
: "The second oldest cemetery on the island it is haunted by a small child named Mary Abby. She has interacted with children and told them she was looking for her father. In the early 80''s, the town cleared away some brush around the perimeter of the graveyard and did uncover a small headstone for a 3 year old girl named Mary Abby."
Unitarian Church
: "The town''s clock tower is reportedly haunted by it''s first pastor. Children are scolded by him for being too loud, and can also see him when adults standing nearby can''t. There is a portrait of him in Hendrix Hall (the basement) that watches you from all spots in the room. His disembodied hand has been seen in windows waving goodbye to visitors as they leave."
Wauwinet Hotel
: "Rumored to be built on top of an Indian burial ground, there are lights that will turn on by themselves, the sound of running water in the lobby where there are no pipes or toilets, and footsteps. There is the ghost of a woman that can only be seen out of the corner of the eye and exudes a scent of gardenias or roses. Jamaican chamber maids will refuse to clean the rooms where she has recently been seen in the past."
