The Mark Twain House and Museum located within Hartford Village, Connecticut, features 25 rooms and is set on an impressive eleven acre plot. Samuel Clemens (pen name Mark Twain) and his wife Olivia (Livvy) appointed New York architect Edward Tuckerman Potter to build their very own dream home. The home today is said to be actively haunted by the spirit of 'the little girl in white'.

It was right here at this home that Clemens wrote his finest works including The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Life In Mississippi, The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson, A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthurs Court, a Ghost Stories Collection called Sketches New and Old, amongst many more. Samuel Clemens was hailed as one of the worlds greatest writers and celebrated as 'Americas greatest humourist'. Clemens and his family lived here at this home from 1874 to 1891.

Tragically, his little daughter Susy died suddenly of meningitis. Too heartbroken to continue living here, seeing the rooms where she once played now empty, the family sold the home and moved onto another location.

Today the building is a National Historic landmark house and museum retaining many educational and traditional artefacts, Victorian tradition and dark tales of old. Twain was not only a writer but a great pioneer, activist and role model. 

Staff often experience unexplained paranormal phenomena within the museum such as objects being moved around and unexplained light anomalies. Also, many visitors are visibly shaken upon reporting the sighting of a little ghost girl who nonchalantly plays amongst the rooms. The child twirls around in a pretty white dress, glancing up once in a while to check her surroundings, but seemingly undeterred by visitors.

Could this be the ghost of Mark Twains little daughter Susy?

Is this a residual haunting of her playing happily before she succumbed to disease?

What do you think?

Why not book one of their 'Graveyard Shift' Tours and see for yourself. Or if you quite simply would like to know more about the life and times of Mark Twain this would be a fantastic day out.
