It’s said that Aunt Lydia Crocker haunts the second floor of the Crocker Tavern House. Despit it’s name, this house is a private residence. So you can’t stop in for a beer and search for her in person. People who have stayed in the second floor bedrooms report that they woke up to having a ghost bending over them in bed. The Crocker Tavern House is across the street from the Sturgis Library. Keep an eye on those windows, while you’re checking out a book. Never know what you’re going to see.

It’s getting near that time of year when everyone wants to hear a good ghost story. If you’re on Cape Cod you can take a haunted ghost tour which includes Cobb Hill Cemetery or you can visit it yourself. It’s located on Route 6A in back of the Unitarian Universalist church.  Paranormal experts claim that there is a entity called the Shadow that walks through the headstones. Others claim to have heard the laughter of dead little girls.  Contact the Cape and Islands Paranormal Reserch Society if you want to take one of their ghost tours of Barnstable Village.

Historic Old Jail in Barnstable, MA is reportedly haunted as well. Ghost hunters report seeing apparitions and hearing voices. They also see objects moving. A few years ago it was possible to spend the night here with paranormal researchers. You can contact the Cape & Islands Paranormal Research Society, if you would like to do something like that.  On the history side, this jail was built in 1690 and held six inmates. It served as the Barnstable County Jail until 1805. It was moved to its current location in the 1970s. It is on Route 6A (Main Street) opposite the Unitarian Church and beside the Coast Guard Museum.
