Doris

Doris Brown was the original name of a person who had visited the Inn in 1927.

Doris was born 1901. She was described as standing 5'2 and weighing 250 lbs., and was married to a man named James Brown. In 1926, she fell into an affair with a man named Ralph McSweeny. Doris and Ralph, along with a number of siblings, arranged to visit the Inn in August of 1927, but soon after arrival, Doris found herself transformed into an "ugly little man." In a panic, the now-male hid in the woods before being picked up as a vagrant. He eventually worked his way to California, where he began a new life for himself, taking his transformation as proof of God's punishment for his wrongdoing.

He lived to the age of 103, dying in late 2006. His story was conveyed by his granddaughter, CeeCee Davies, who expressed guilt that her grandfather's peace of mind was disturbed by the revelation of the nature of the inn in his final days.
