Abandoned New Hampshire: Ghosts of Our Past

Explores the haunting beauty and hidden stories of the state’s forgotten buildings and ghostly past.

Have you ever come across an abandoned house with broken windows and creeping vines as you drove through town? Or an abandoned gas station with rusty pumps out front that looks like it was once full of activity? Do you wonder what caused the doors to close or made the people walk away and never come back? Abandoned New Hampshire: Ghosts of Our Past answers some of these questions while paying homage to what has been left behind, including the memories, secrets, and discarded parts of people’s history. Scattered throughout New Hampshire, you’ll find decaying hotels, camps, schools, and farms. Though many of these places may seem completely forgotten, there are those who are still haunted by them. The ghosts that we leave behind in the places we once loved or hated act as the silent keepers of whatever stories are remaining within the walls. Maybe the next time you drive by a forgotten, discarded place, you’ll pause and visit with the ghosts who have been keeping watch, and you’ll think about all the stories they could tell.
