Governor Carney will welcome families to trick or treat at Woodburn, the Governor’s mansion in Dover, Tuesday night from 6 to 8pm. Woodburn, which was built in 1790, is said to be quite haunted.
Residents have reported seeing an 18th century gentleman wearing a white wig – the apparition of former owner Dr. MW Bates’ father. Also seen a ‘tippling ghost’ that leaves empty wineglasses in a certain place, a chain-rattling ghost in the basement, which is said to have been a stop on the underground railroad. Also seen a floating specter wearing a Revolutionary War outfit and a little girl in a red gingham dress playing in the gardens.
