Vermont State House grounds · Washington County Courthouse (built 1881) · Green Mount Cemetery's 'Black Agnes' monument
US Ghost Adventures markets its Montpelier, Vermont program under the city-specific brand 'Montpelier Ghosts.' The tour meets nightly at the Vermont State House, 115 State St, for a roughly 1-hour, 1-mile walk through Vermont's state capital, also listed on Vermont's official state tourism site (Vermont Vacation) at the same State Street meeting point.
The route centers on the Washington County Courthouse, built in 1881, and College Hall at Vermont College of Fine Arts, with the operator's storytelling also drawing on the well-known 'Black Agnes' bronze statue at Green Mount Cemetery, a longstanding piece of Montpelier folklore about a monument locals warn visitors not to sit on.

ApparitionsReported sounds/tappingLocal curse legend
According to US Ghost Adventures' own promotional material for the Montpelier Ghosts program, the bronze 'Black Agnes' statue at Green Mount Cemetery is blamed by local legend for a string of misfortunes, including the deaths of three boys in the late 1950s who are said to have sat on the statue's lap; the operator recounts this as a well-known local curse story tied to Christ Episcopal Church's connection to the statue.
At the Washington County Courthouse, the operator's account describes a jealous woman who fired shots inside the building, leaving behind whispers, sudden chills, and reports of a gaunt, distressed face appearing on a courthouse employee's computer screen. At College Hall, part of Vermont College of Fine Arts, the operator ties strange tapping on windows and an apparition it names 'Michelle' to the same violent history associated with the nearby courthouse.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history verified independently for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
