From the Inside Flap EXCERPTS Spotlight on: Charlemont Inn Charlemont, Massachusett Charlemont, Massachusetts, is a very popular year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Situated on the historic Mohawk Trail in the Berkshires, the area offers many great locations for hiking, camping, white water rafting, and skiing. A favorite spot in town to stay and to eat is the Charlemont Inn, which has been offering food and accommodations since 1787. Some of the notable figures who have stayed there include Mark Twain and President Calvin Coolidge. It seems that a number of people who have either lodged at or worked in the inn during its long history are still there in spirit. Charlotte Dewey and Linda Shimandle are the co-owners of the inn. When Charlotte came into the business some twenty years ago, Linda, who had already been with the inn for some time, told her about the buildings haunted reputation. Linda informed Charlotte that one of their ghosts is a mischievous teenager, whom she and the staff have affectionately nicknamed Elizabeth. Charlotte Dewey didnt put too much stock into the idea of ghosts until one morning when she walked into the kitchen and saw a bag of potato chips floating in midair. Stunned by this scene, Charlotte stopped dead in her tracks and said, Elizabeth, put those down! The bag of chips dropped to the floor on her command as Charlotte retreated with haste from the kitchen.

About five years ago, a woman with psychic ability visited the inn and informed the owners that there was a ghost of a fourteen-year-old girl who died of tuberculosis haunting the building. She didnt get the name Elizabeth. The name she got was Fidelia with the middle name Elvira. The psychic also received the girls last name. When a local woman volunteered to do research to see if there was any record of this girl, she found an exact match with the same age and cause of death. The woman was even able to locate the teenagers grave. Charlotte Dewey explained to me that she had to withhold the girls last name from me out of respect for her descendants who still lived in the town of Charlemont. Further research showed that the Charlemont Inn was used during Fidelias time as a place for local patients to meet with the regional physician. It is possible that Fidelia died at the inn while waiting for medical care. More than a couple of psychics who have visited the inn have sensed the spirits of a little boy and girl, with a cat, hanging around near the bottom of the main staircase by the front desk. No one has ever seen these little wraiths, but members of the staff have commented on feeling a presence on the stairs, and some have even heard a cat in the same vicinity. An apparition of a Colon
