History & local legend
The Tom Quick Inn on Broad Street in Milford has accumulated ghost stories during its long life as a hotel. In 2005, Connections magazine recorded reports of employees hearing their names called when no speaker could be found, along with guests’ accounts of beds moving upstairs.
An anonymous guest added a more specific experience to Haunted Places in August 2015. At 5:30, immediately after an alarm sounded, the guest heard two blows against the door. That was followed by a noise from a recycling bin, as if someone were pressing down on the empty water bottles inside.
The earlier reports and the guest’s later comment describe different encounters, linked by the hotel setting. In each, ordinary sounds or movements suggested another person in the room or corridor, but the witnesses could not locate anyone responsible.
