Known affectionately by staff members as “The Princess,” Caroline Foster Stickney was a long-time inhabitant of the hotel. She became known as “The Princess” after marrying a French royal named Jean Baptiste Marie de Faucigny Lucinge. But Princess Caroline Foster’s ties to the resort go back to its inception when her first husband, railroad tycoon Joseph Stickney, built the grand resort in 1902. Incorporating special accommodations for his wife, construction of the resort included an indoor swimming pool and a private dining room for Caroline known today as the “Princess Room.” A prominent figure at the resort since its opening, many guests who have visited continue to report sightings of the regal Caroline. Visions of an elegant woman in Victorian dress are often spotted in the hallways of the hotel, and there are light taps on doors when no one is outside. Objects within the guestrooms will also suddenly disappear and then reappear in the exact place they were lost. But perhaps the most common sighting of the beloved Caroline is in Room 314, where guests report seeing a vision of the woman sitting at the edge of their bed. The tales of the Omni Mount Washington’s hauntings have since inspired many people to hunt for ghosts on the grounds, including the crew of the popular television show, Ghost Hunters.
