While most people associate Cape Cod with leisure, the region's rich past won't let it be forgotten. Even the most skeptical people have been won over by the claims that unexplainable events may be traced back to the ghosts of sea captains, missing children, as well as colonialists. The fall season is perfect for visiting Cape Cod's haunted attractions because of the crisp weather and the upcoming celebration of Halloween. Below, we list some of the most haunted homes on Cape Cod so you may take a ghost tour at your own pace.

Cape Cod's 5 Most Haunted Houses

The House Of Barnstable

Lucy

The Barnstable House is where you can find Lucy. She's a specter, eleven years old, and a big baseball fan. Back in the colonial era, when houses were often constructed near water sources, little Lucy played with a blue ball in the basement when it rolled into something like a spring. She went into the water to get it back but tragically ended up drowning. Supposedly, Lucy's mom waited in her rocking rocker for her daughter to return since she refused to accept that Lucy was forever gone. A rocking chair in the "blue room" may mysteriously move on its own, while you might hear her gently humming as she waits. Some people have reported seeing Lucy herself bouncing about the yard or continuing to chase after her blue ball.

Even More Entities

The Barnstable House isn't telling its tale just yet. Many lost a lot of money when the current dollar replaced the Continental Currency as the dominant currency. The previous homeowner, Edmond Hawes, was a victim of this transformation. He was so devastated by his loss that he took his life hanging from a tree. He seems to be gazing over the place from among the trees. The Barnstable House suffered a devastating fire in the 1970s. Martha, a lady, was rescued by fire crews from the building's third level. They entered to save her, but she was already gone. Only in passing looks do we glimpse the fullness of her white gown as well as her high collar.

Captain Linnell's Haunted House

While the circumstances of Captain Graves' death from The Barnstable House remain a mystery, everyone knows what happened to Captain Ebenezer Linnell. His ship was caught in a storm in 1864. However, the storm pushed the Captain against the wheel, despite Linnell's best efforts to get to safety. A spoke pierced the man's lungs. The body of Captain Linnell was cremated and buried at sea. A letter from the first mate's widow, Rebecca, was received. The news saddened her. She supposedly waited for Linnell to return for sixty years in the dome of the house he constructed for her while holding the letter. There was no second marriage for her.

Yarmouth's Old Inn And Tavern

The Old Yarmouth Inn, as well as Tavern, first opened in 1696, is the nation's oldest continuously operating inn. Enslaved people were secreted in the attic, making this location an essential stop on the Underground Railroad. There is still the ghost of an enslaved person somewhere. A male visitor reported being awakened in the middle of the night by a person sitting on his bed. The guy tried to stay out of sight by crawling beneath the bed. Unseen hands felt like they were massaging his feet. The bed was violently jolted off the bedposts as the presence appeared out of nowhere. When the light came up, he sprang out of bed and sat on the porch till late in the morning. This being was probably a woman who had been enslaved. A woman's obligation to her enslaver would have included massaging their feet.

The Waterfront Inn In Orleans

The structure now houses the Orleans Waterfront Inn, which served as a brothel in the 1920s. After the murder of one of the ladies, her spirit remained in the home. The inn proprietor introduces her as Hannah and says she's pretty harmless. After spending the night on the sofa in case a visitor needed assistance, he was startled awake by a naked lady he did not recognise. At first, he dismissed the meeting as a dreamlike fantasy. A passing vehicle then called the business owner and asked that drapes be drawn over the belvedere window on the fifth story because he could see a naked lady dancing inside.

Location: Dillingham House

The Dillingham

Sandwich is home to a modest home constructed in the 1650s by Edward Dillingham, a founding member of the town's founders. Branch Dillingham, who seemed to have nine children with his wife, inherited the home and raised them there in the early 1800s. Branch Dillingham's suicide altered their future. After a few weeks, his wife would join him. They abandoned the nine kids in an empty home.

Three Dillingham Kids

Even after the home turned into a B&''B, odd things happened there. The home's owner said a savage aroma of rotting flesh permeated the space. When no children were there, guests claimed to have seen and heard them. One awoke to see a little girl sitting at the foot of her bed, staring at her.

Conclusion
