Room 7 of the Mason House Inn
About
Room 7, Joy says, "We have
a newspaper account of a murder
that took place in the Inn.
A Mr. Knapp was stabbed in the
heart and died in [Room 7].
He was trying to get into a
bed that was already occupied.
(He had been visiting the tavern
and was confused as to which
room was his.) The man in the
bed thought he was being robbed
and took a saber out of his
walking stick and stabbed Mr.
Knapp in the heart.
"Several
guests have told us that something
violent happened in Room 7 and
they get a bad feeling in that
room. This room is directly
above the kitchen and I often
hear footsteps up there when
no one else is in the house.
I will go up to see if a visitor
has come in off the street and
is taking a "look around."
There will be no one up there,
but the bed looks like someone
had been laying on it. It will
be mussed up. I
think Mr. Knapp is still trying
to get into bed.
"My
daughter was in that room making
the bed one day and as she bent
over to tuck in the sheet, she
got patted on her fanny. Thinking
it was me trying to play a joke
on her, she turned around but
no one was there. She left the
room fast and would not go back
up there with out me."
