The Mount (Edith Wharton's Mansion)
Designed and built in 1902 by Pulitzer Prize-winning American author Edith Wharton, The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts, is a magnificent 113-acre estate nestled in the Berkshire Hills. Famous as the place where Wharton wrote timeless novels like The House of Mirth and Ethan Frome, along with classic ghost stories like The Eyes, the country house has long held an eerie double life. Visitors, staff, and paranormal researchers routinely report encounters with spectral figures in Victorian dress, unexplainable footsteps, phantom piano music, and cold spots in the author's library.
