I have greatly enjoyed some of the “accounts” that have been shared about the Avenel House! As a former caretaker of the house, I have been there both accompanied and alone many times. It is my belief that a lovely young woman does frequent the house and grounds, however, I have never had the opportunity to meet her myself. Please be aware that many of the stories shared in past comments, although creative, do not match historical information or the actual layout of the house. If you are lucky enough to visit Avenel, be sure to appreciate the beautiful craftsmanship of the home and take the time to speak with someone who can share the accurate history of the home. The truth is much more interesting than fabricated stories!

to ina, the women in white dresses are always referred to as women in white. mainly, they are ghosts of women who find out their husband is cheating and so as a result, kill their kids. then afer realizing what they ad done, kill themselves in some sort of way

I lived a few houses down from that house for 10 years and never saw anything suspicious.

Me and my sister went there the other day and it was at night and we were just about to leave when we saw a women in a white dress standing on the bottom window. So we started walking around the house and there was a light on n one of the rooms and we looked in there and it turned off!!!

All of you need to grow up. If you are old enough to post online, then you are too old to believe in ghosts. Im tired of backwoods paranormal junkies making a mockery of historical places. I have been to Avenel and have news for you….NOT HAUNTED!!

I am a 12 year old girl and my grandma and mom have told me stories of avanel….just to see if there really was a white lady i asked one day if we could drive by.being as we were in town alredy. we drove by and stopped right in front of the old house. i dont know what it was. Maybe a light or a reflection but i know that i saw a woman in the upstairs window looking down on our car.Then it turned into a white orb and was gone. when i told my grandma and mom of this they told me that they to had seen the white woman before but they had not seen my encounter that day. To this day every time we are in bedford i ask if we can drive by that old house. I think that the white lady is there and she is watching those who drive by or those who come in her house and she wants help or she wants out.When we drove by that day i got this feeling like a sad or lonley feeling.

I have read the stories of people who say that seeing ghosts is your imagination or that ghosts arnt real but i ask you this if one day a long time from now you see a ghost. Will you still say they arnt real? people should open thier minds to these things belive that even though they havnt seen anything its still thier. Because even the quietest houses hold some kind of mystery and even though you havnt seen anything there are still things lurking in the dark!
