This 1878 bed and breakfast has always had a neighbourhood reputation as a ‘haunted house’, but it wasn’t until recently that the current owners suspected that something otherworldly was going on at the inn. Paranormal activity reported at this location includes doors opening and closing of their own accord, a phantom cat and a ghostly elderly couple.

  1. This was my Aunt and Uncles B&B. John and Susie Huffman. My cuisin used to help care for the place. My grandmother used to spend a month every year there. She would tell me stories of the doors opening on there own even if you lock the doors. Especially, the doors up stairs. My grandmother, who is a very skeptical person told a story about what she saw one summer night. She was on the porch swing on an early summer night.and she saw a faint apperition of an elderly black lady dressed in a gown. The apperition came out of the bushes, floated over to the sidewalk and then up the porch stairs and through the door next to my grandmother. My grand mother gave her a name I can not recall. She used to talk to her as if she were always there. She said she only saw that one time. But said she could feel it when she was around.

  2. Well i watched a video on YouTube on channel mindseed tv and clearly you can see a elderly woman sitting on a sofa,couch and she is wearing a robes?

    My husband and I were weekend guests in summer 2011 at the Pink Rosedbud B&B in Plattsburg while attending 50-year high school reunion activities for his Plattsburg High School class of 1961. We were instructed to follow the driveway that ran alongside the mansion and wait for someone to come out the small side porch to help us with our luggage and check-in. While waiting, I commented on seeing a primarily white cat with patches of black and white tabby markings around its face, ears and sides, rubbing itself as cats often do, on the edges of the porch and then disappearing from view. Both of us being cat lovers, we were delighted the B&B had a resident cat who might be entertaining us during our stay. Upon mentioning this to the owner, he said simply that multiple cats lived there, and we could expect they would likely be visiting our room, unless we kept our door shut. Several cats visited us during our stay there. I remember particularly a yellow-orange tabby, and perhaps a solid gray cat (unsure now on the gray color, but at any rate, looking nothing at all like the first cat I saw on the porch), At breakfast on Sunday, shortly before checkout, we told the owner we enjoyed the cats’ company during our stay, but I said I never again saw the cat that first greeted us upon arrival Friday afternoon. This is when he told me they did not own a cat of that description and that I had gotten a glimpse of the ghost cat. While halfway between skeptic and believer, I have no reason to doubt this was, in fact, a ghost cat since the owner never said anything at the outset about having a ghost cat and it was mentioned ONLY A FTER I said I never saw that same cat again during our stay. The owner had warned us initially of the mansion’s haunted reputation. He told us the most likely manifestation, if it were to occur, would be the smell of a strong rose-scented perfume, indicating the presence of the lady who haunts the B&B, but we did not have that experience. In thinking back on it, the cat on the porch looked perhaps a bit hazy but was definitely seen by me alone, completely unprompted by any expectation there was a ghost cat in residence there.
