The Shelburne Museum literally has a collection of houses that could easily be interpreted as haunted. The Dutton House is located across from the covered bridge and supposedly is the home to an old man who lurks in the corner of the attic upstairs. Some of the museum’s employees claim to have seen the ghost or heard odd noises. I used to live across the street from the museum and visited the Dutton House many times. Unfortunately, I never did encounter anything ghostly or odd.

Vermonter.com was started back in the mid 1990's as a Vermont resource guide. Since then it has evolved into more of a quirky historical and unusual chronicle of off beat Vermont folklore, myths and legends. It's easy to create a Vermont resource but damn hard to corral all the "good stuff" in one place. But hey, I'm having fun! This website is best enjoyed on a dark, rainy day with a cup of coffee and a loyal dog (or cat) asleep at your feet. So enjoy and have fun. "There be WEIRD stuff here!" Comment below, if you dare!
