The Ghosts in Room 40 and the Publick House Historic Inn

The Publick House Historic Inn, which opened in Sturbrige, Massachussetts in 1771, has hosted George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette --- as well as countless visitors looking to explore the Brimfield Antique Flea Market down the street. However, it's debatable whether some, more supernatural guests have ever checked out. Here, we explore the story behind Ebenezer Crafts, who opened the Publick House Historic Inn in 1771, and why he's closely associated with the supernatural rumors surrounding this colonial hotel. Oh yes, there is history here! This video features original footage, research, and narration from There Is History Here, accompanied by images and footage selected from the public domain. If we cannot find images of specific events, people or locations, we use images of similar events, people, and locations for illustrative purposes. This episode was produced, hosted, written, filmed, and edited by Eric Pesale, a lawyer and history buff. He received his B.A. in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. ******************** Looking for fun history-themed hats and clothing for your loved ones?
