Viewfinder: Nichols Guest Rooms Delivers Breakfast With a Side of Ghost Story

The Nichols Guest Rooms houses Seekonk history dating back to the 1800s.

A visit to the Nichols Guest Rooms revealed a rich history in Seekonk - with a few ghost tales to enlighten the spirit. The story of three sisters dates back into the early 1800s before Seekonk became a town.

Dot Tameo and Walter Nobriga are the innkeepers of this delightful home-turned-guest house that draws people from all over the world. Tameo and her sisters, Eleanor Chase of Norton and Muriel Valvano of Rehoboth get together every week to catch up on their families. Some weeks it is just the sisters. But other times it can turn into a large gathering. The sisters began meeting when their mother's health was failing and continued after she died. Tameo bought the house from her family in order to keep the rich history in the family and has now turned it into a delightful guest house.

Sneak-peak: Eleanor recalls many stories of ghostly visits to the house - one in particular was when she was 10-years-old and heard footsteps on the stairs. When she looked, no one was there. According to Dot, legend tells us that the original owner of this 200-year-old Colonial home took his own life. Shadows, strange sounds in the night and lights mysteriously flickering on and off ensure guests know friendly spirits remain.
