Overview
Is the Yankee Pedlar Inn haunted?
The Yankee Pedlar was built in 1891 in downtown Torrington, Connecticut. The original owner of the inn, Alice, is rumored to have died in the Yankee Pedlar in 1910, which may have marked the day that paranormal activity began. She’s said to have died in room 353, which has various reports of apparitions as well as strange smells. The Pedlar’s success is said to have come from Alice’s astute management of the hotel as well as her outstanding cooking. She may have stuck around for that reason.
Alice’s ghost has been seen in various parts of this haunted inn making sure guests have a pleasant stay. In the lobby, Alice’s rocking chair often moves on its own. Room 295 has had strange reports too. Guests have seen spirits as well as felt a presence climb into bed with them. Room lights flicker off and on by themselves. One guest reported a strange dream. That guest’s companion had the same exact dream.

Haunted Rooms of the Yankee Pedlar Inn
- Room 353 – Where the founder, Alice Conley, died.
- Room 295 – Many reports of items moving, noises in the night, and an uneasy feeling make this room quite spooky.
This place is being renovated now, but is coming back. I loved the Innkeepers movie and want to stay here some day. I want to stay in that room 353 where the paranormal activity happens on Halloween if I’m lucky. My name is Alice, but I’m not THAT Alice Conley :). Still spooky though!
Is it still reopening? Would love to visit!
This place was spooky. Stayed here with my husband and we felt like something was in the room all night. It would get hot and then really cold all of a sudden in spots in the room.
Just saw The Innkeepers movie! 😉
