If you
happen to visit Montpelier’s Washington County Courthouse you will
notice the building’s brick, four-pillared, Greek revival design and
elegant curvilinear stairway leading to the upstairs courtroom. You may
also notice the flood of 1927’s high water mark just above your head in
the lobby. You will not, however, notice the courthouse’s most
omnipresent inhabitant, Mildred Brewster, because she’s invisible.
Mildred is a ghost.
I was able to, over the phone, speak with
court workers and solicit stories about things going bump in the day,
reports of inexplicable sounds of glass shattering, of voices in
conversation in an empty courtroom and things strangely found out of
place. The staff chalks these events up to the ghost of Mildred.
