Green Mountain College
Green Mountain College was founded in 1834 by the Troy Conference of the United Methodist Church. The story of this haunting is a rather bizarre one; one I certainly wouldn’t want to experience. Legend says that the ghost of a dwarf appears at the foot of the bed when couples are being intimate. The dwarf was supposedly a worker at the college who died a lonely man in the attic of the school where he lived.

An update
Green Mountain College closed in 2019, so the campus no longer has students. The college’s own website went offline, so the link above now points to its history page. The story lives on with alumni and in Poultney’s local lore.
