Film Synopsis

During the final days at the Yankee Pedlar Inn, two employees determined to reveal the hotel's haunted past begin to experience disturbing events as odd guests check in for a stay.

Believed by many to be one of New England's most haunted hotels, the last remaining employees of the Yankee Pedlar Inn, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), are determined to uncover proof before it shuts down for good. The inn's final days draw near, and odd guests check in as the pair hunt for ghosts and begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel's long, unexplained history.
