Colonial house Henniker, NH
Mary Wallace was born at sea in 1720 on a ship stopped by pirates, the story goes, and her name became attached to this 18th-century house. Mid-20th-century owners promoted ghost stories about her, though historians note that she never lived in this particular house.
Visiting: Private property — view only from public roads.
Ghost stories are shared as folklore. Hours, tours and access change — always check with the site before you go, and never enter private or closed property.
