The Grey Gables Mansion located in Richford, Vermont was built between 1890-1892, for a prosperous Richford entrepreneur, Sheldon Boright. By-gone days are recalled in this stately mansion. Mr. Boright, a wealthy wood baron, lived in the home with his young family. Much of the land in Richford was owned by Mr. Boright, including the land beyond the river. Here he would race his horses. He would invite his friends over for lavish parties in the ballroom formerly located on the third floor. The guests could wander up to the widow's peak and watch the horses race off in the distance.

Rockcliffe Mansion is an amazing 13,500 sf American Castle built to overlook the Mighty Mississippi River between 1898 and 1900. It is on the National Register of Historic Homes.
Its original owner, John J. Cruikshank Jr., died in his bed in 1924. Now, housekeepers often have to straighten Mr. Cruikshank's bedding in that room, as it mysteriously retains the form of a 5-foot-4-inch body. Caretakers who watched over the house for a decade when it was left empty report strong cigarette smoke that would waft in at midnight. There have been reports by guests of hearing footsteps that walk into the room that Mr. Cruikshank occupied. And guests have witnessed Mrs. Cruikshank — yes, let's not forget her — floating through her grand music room.

The Stone Lion Inn was built in 1907 by F.E. Houghton, the founder of Cotton Oil Company and owner of the first car dealership in Oklahoma. The Houghtons started out in a little house that once was located on the lot next door on the east side of the Inn. The Houghtons had 12 children, and all survived childhood except for one daughter, who died before the family moved into the Stone Lion Inn. Becky Luker purchased the Stone Lion Inn in 1986 and converted the house into the first bed-and-breakfast in Oklahoma. Back in the 1920s, the house was leased to Smith’s Funeral Home and was used as a mortuary. You can imagine what's coming next: The Smiths lived upstairs and the embalming was done in what is now the Inn’s kitchen. Today, the owner uses the beautiful porcelain embalming table as a hallway buffet where guests can help themselves to refreshments throughout the day.
Supposedly, the Houghton daughter haunts the Inn. The girl was 8 years old when she died of whooping cough. It is believed that the maid overmedicated her with cough syrup. The medication had codeine and opium, which was once common. Guests have reported being awakened at night between 2 a.m. and 2:30 a.m., when a small child comes into the room and pats them on the cheek, but when they are fully awake, no one is there.
Another ghost is an older gentleman who is recognized by the scent of his cigar smoke. He wears a suit and a derby-like hat. A ghost woman haunts the wedding suite, and laughter sometimes can be heard around 4 a.m. on a regular basis.

Ghosts have been reported on board only after she reached California. Many areas are rumored to be haunted. Reports of hearing little children crying in the nursery room, actually used as the third class playroom, and a mysterious splash noise in the drained first class swimming pool are cited. In 1966, 18 year old fireman John Pedder was crushed by a watertight door in the engine room during a drill, and his ghost is said to haunt the ship.
The hotel's 365 original staterooms span three decks and include eight full suites. Each cabin is uniquely appointed, and embellishments vary to include rich wood paneling; Art Deco built-ins; original artwork; and, portholes for outside cabins. The hotel offers a business center, and for those who wish to enjoy some fresh ocean air and exercise, four times around the Sun Deck equals one mile.
Ghosts & Legends Tour
The first-class swimming pool is a popular spot for ghost sightings and is part of the Ghosts & Legends show, a daily, special effects, walk-through show created aboard the ship that dramatizes actual paranormal and historic events that have been reported over the years. Wet footprints mysteriously appear — and there is not a drop of water in the pool. Women in vintage bathing suits visit for a leisurely swim. Although the pool has been closed for more than 30 years. Is it real, or is it your imagination at work? Testimonials from passengers and crew members continue to be reported and documented, all of them wanting answers to what they’ve experienced. Do ghosts really exist aboard the Queen Mary?
Ghosts & Legends of the Queen Mary encompasses a 25,000-square-foot area and takes guests through locations not accessible to the public, blurring the line between reality and imagination.
