The tiny town of Anamoose (population less than 300) boasts the Sage Hill Bed and Breakfast, located in a former schoolhouse.
The schoolhouse, known as the White School, was well ahead of its time. It was built in 1928, and had a wind generator to provide power. Hot lunches were provided, as well as hot showers for the students (most of the houses in the area had no indoor plumbing).
The school even had six school buses, all horse-drawn, and a garage to keep them. For forty years, it taught the children in the area, but the number of students never exceeded 100. White School closed in 1968.
Rumor has it that a fire killed the superintendent of the school, along with a young boy. Be that as it may, when the current owners began renovating the former school into a B&B, odd things occurred. Lights flickered on and off. The sound of moaning was heard. A light in the cellar remained lit, despite all efforts to turn it off. Cigar smoke was noticed, though no smokers of any kind were in the building. Upon investigating, workers saw smoke hovering in the air of the cellar, and a cigar was found.
Cold spots and a feeling of being watched have also been reported. For such a small town, Anamoose has some interesting activities on offer.
