Haunted places in Connecticut are certainly not in short supply. If you are a fan of the paranormal, the Nutmeg State is the place to be – we’ve got all kinds of places where goblins and ghosts allegedly lurk! One spot that’s spookier than most is the Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington. This now-defunct hotel has not welcomed guests in years, but the building (and urban legends) surrounding it still remain. It’s so scary that a horror movie was even filmed here! Check out the story of this haunted hotel in Torrington, CT below!

The Yankee Pedlar Inn was once one of the most popular hotels in Torrington, Connecticut. It was originally opened by Frank and Alice Conley in 1891, though it was called the Conley Hotel at the time.

The hotel remained in the Conley family for many years before shuffling from owner to owner. The name was changed to the Yankee Pedlar Inn in 1956.

Over the years, a number of rumors surrounded the inn, and, if you believe the stories, a number of ghosts roamed the halls.

It was said that the original owner, Alice Conley, passed away in room 353 of the hotel. Guests reported hearing her roaming the halls, perhaps still checking up on her tenants each night before bed. Those brave enough to stay in room 353 have reported hearing strange sounds in the night. Even in other rooms, guests claimed to have had strange dreams while staying in the hotel, or seeing lights cut on or off on their own accord.
The hotel has such a spooky history behind it that it was the filming location of a 2011 horror film called The Innskeepers.

Fittingly enough, the movie is about a haunted hotel in its final weeks of operation.
The Yankee Pedlar Inn closed down in December 2015 for what was supposed to be a 7-9 month renovation period. The work that was needed was much more extensive than originally thought, and the historic property has still yet to reopen. Sadly, its future remains uncertain.
