As one would expect from one of the nation's oldest towns, there's loads of literal haunts in Stowe. Most famous is the spirit of former Inn horseman Boots Berry. Born in Room 302 in the servant’s quarters, Boots was a local hero thanks to rescuing some hapless stagecoach passengers when their horses. Alas, Boots' love of actual spirits led to his dismissal from the Inn, and for years he roamed the countryside, learning to tapdance (yes, really) in the process. Poor Boots eventually fell off the roof of the Inn while attempting another rescue, and today, he can be heard tapping away on the roof. If that story doesn't grab you, check out Emily, who haunts the Gold Brook Covered Bridge.
