Sometimes dinner is better with a little added entertainment, and if you’re brave enough, the entertainment at this haunted New Hampshire restaurant could be out of this world! It is said that the spirit of a colonial woman from the 1740s has haunted The Country Tavern in Nashua for years. Here’s her story:

Since the 1980s, this old farmhouse has been home to The Country Tavern. But before that, it was home to a family ruled by lies, jealousy, cheating and murder..... a history that still haunts the restaurant today.

In 1741, Captain Ford built the house, bringing in his wife Elizabeth. However, Elizabeth was much younger than her husband, and his job was taxing, taking him out to sea for long periods of time. The marriage seemed doomed from the start.

When the captain returned from a year at sea to find that his wife had given birth, he was enraged. He locked Elizabeth in a closet, and killed the baby.

When he told her what he'd done, Elizabeth attacked her husband, but he was stronger. It is said that he stabbed her and threw her body down a well in the back of the house.
