Ryan Griffin now owns the Dillingham House and operates a four bedroom B & B there. The house has gone from being the home of one of the distinguished founders of Sandwich, MA, Edward Dillingham to being a rundown boarding house during the 1930s and 40s and then was vacant for much of the 1970s. It is now once again restored to a lovely house for guests to Cape Cod. Throughout all these incarnations, however, it has been generally viewed as being haunted. Many people think the ghost is Branch Dillingham who committed suicide in 1813. Others think it is several of his many children, or both. During the 1970s the local police responded many times to alarms from the house, only to find no cause. during their investigations doors that would not budge would suddenly open easily and lights that did not work would be on upon their return to that room. The police reports noted that over the years activity seemed to increase in October. Ms Griffin has also noticed this pattern. One guest briefly saw a man in Victorian clothing, and her sister claimed that when she woke up she saw a young girl sitting at the end of the bed. Other guests have reported unexplained footsteps when no one is around.
