Hotel Conneaut 12241 Lake St. Conneaut Lake, PA With a lake front view & in walking distance to Conneaut Lake Park, guests of Hotel Conneaut enjoy relaxation with an escape from the mundane. The charm of this hotel transcends generations & holds a link to the past but holds tales of misfortune & heartbreak. Before Hotel Conneaut, the Exposition Hotel stood in its spot. The original park, Exposition Park, needed a hotel for out of town guests. Investors built a resort using land on the lake in 1893. Only 20 years after its’ inception, Exposition Hotel was demolished. There was a wing kept operable & tied into the new Hotel Conneaut. Completed in 1902, there were 150 rooms including a veranda the length of the hotel along the lake. Expansion in 1925 added 150 rooms, a ballroom, & apartments. The hotel was struck by lightning in 1943, starting a fire that damaged the roof. During the fire, a woman, Elizabeth, was trapped inside. She, along with her husband, were on their honeymoon. Her husband stepped out, leaving his bride behind for eternity. Elizabeth perished in the flames. After the destruction & her death, Hotel Conneaut demolished that wing. In 1952, a girl, Angelina, accidentally rode her tricycle off the 2nd floor balcony. She passed away after clinging to life for a few hours. Legend tells of a butcher who lost favor with the mob. He lived in an apartment at the hotel while working as the butcher until the mob caught him. They dismembered him & discarded his remains in the lake. A local group purchased the hotel & renovated it. Before then, the hotel fell into neglect & nearly closed. Guests hear disembodied voices & see apparitions in the hotel. Doors & windows slam closed with no one near. The most haunted room is suite 321/323. Guests hear a woman’s voice & see her pacing as if Elizabeth is awaiting her husband to rescue her. Here, employees have heard a shriek followed by silence. On the 3rd floor, a spirit named Nick has been recorded; perhaps the butcher from the legend? Giggling & shuffling of feet is heard on the veranda & balcony. Some claim this is Angelina. Guests report a tug on their leg as if a child is pulling on them. Majestic Theatre 42 E 2nd St Chillicothe, OH The original Majestic Theatre was the first bank in Chillicothe, Ohio. The Bank of Chillicothe was erected in 1809 & the alley behind was called Bank Alley. The lobby was used for plays to bring in customers. The bank struggled & closed in 1826. A Masonic Lodge bought the building & used it as a meeting hall to put on plays. A fire burnt down 2 blocks of buildings in 1852. The masons purchased the property. A year later, the Masonic Opera House was constructed. They expanded their meeting hall by 2 floors & installed art exhibits. The “M” in the curtain has mistakenly stood for Majestic but rather represents Masons. The masons left for larger cities & left the theater abandoned. In 1904, the theater was sold to AR Wolf who restored the building. He sold the theater in 1915 for 10 times the purchase price to 3 brothers – the Myers. They changed the name to the Majestic Theatre & showed motion pictures. As the Spanish Influenza hit, a local army encampment lost hundreds of soldiers & numerous townspeople to the disease. Chillicothe used the theater as a morgue & the stage for embalming. Fluids were disposed in the alley behind the theater. Bank Alley took a new nickname: Blood Alley. In 1971, the Myers sold the theater to Evelyn & Harley Bennett. The Majestic Theatre saw new clientele until Harley died in the 1980s. Evelyn was unable to run the business & sold the theater to a non-profit organization. They received federal grants to preserve the historic value & renovated the theater. Visitors see a girl roaming the dressing rooms & basement. Rumors claim the girl died in the fire. Odd sounds are heard in the basement with no logical reason. Soldiers in WWI attire are seen on stage. Moans have been heard on stage but there is never any culprit. Construction crews saw a man in a tuxedo in front of the stage. The same apparition has been seen above the stage, at the level of the original stage. Actors have seen eyes in the balcony during rehearsals even though it’s closed. Audiences have seen dead bodies appear on stage during performances but in professionalism, the actors continue the show. #majestictheateroh Happy Thanksgiving all!! From our family to yours! #happythanksgivng #ironcityparanormal Brush Creek Inn 295 Northgate Dr. Warrendale, PA Hidden between the hustling, bustling town of Cranberry Township & Wexford, PA rests the last original building from the former town of Marshall. This small town sprung up during the oil boom in the late 1800s. In 1886, John Ulrich purchased property in Marshall & established a residential area along the original Route 19. His purpose was to house railroad workers from the Harmony Short Line. He also built the Brush Creek Hotel to house travelers as well as passengers along the railroad. The oil rush & railroad demand died down, & the town of Marshall was absorbed into Warrendale, a small area in the outskirts of Pittsburgh, PA. The main road of Route 19 was rerouted, while the leftover road was renamed Northgate Drive. The hotel transformed into apartments, offices, & finally a bar/restaurant called the Brush Creek Inn. The building still hosts apartments upstairs. The hotel is the last building from the 1880s & holds a tragic past. During its heyday, a man hung himself on the 2nd floor after learning of his wife’s infidelity. This was brushed away (pun intended) so the hotel would not lose business. A boy was given a brief stay at the hotel during his last moments. He was playing on railroad tracks & was struck by a train. He was brought to the hotel while passing away upstairs. During the tuberculosis scare of the 1950s, a girl contracted the disease & perished in her family’s room. After the hotel transformed into the restaurant & apartments, a resident passed out in the hallway due to late stages of pancreatic cancer & died later that night in his bed. There have been witnesses to odd occurrences over the years. Some have seen strange lights moving on the 1st floor, others have claimed to hear the service bell ringing. Footsteps & doors slamming has been reported. A loud bang as if something is hitting the floor has been recorded numerously. Employees have experienced intense phenomena like bottles flying & shattering, furniture turning over & being pushed across the room. Whatever the reason for these otherworldly cases, it’s easy to see that these spirits want themselves to be known. #hauntedpa Farnsworth House Inn 401 Baltimore St Gettysburg, PA 17325 Purchased from a subdivision, John McFarlane built a wooden home in 1810. He moved his family into the house & built an addition in 1833. John lived in the house until he passed away in 1851 when the Bank of Gettysburg took control & sold it to the Sweeney family in 1859. The building is in downtown Gettysburg, beyond the ridge of Cemetery Hill. During the 3-day battle, Confederate sharpshooters were scattered through the house forcing the Sweeney family to a neighbor’s house. They picked off Union soldiers positioned on Cemetery Hill. One of the snipers were responsible for the death of Mary Virginia (Jennie) Wade. The Confederates used the basement as a hospital & even performed amputations, dumping body parts out the cellar window. The building was not without its’ own scars. There are over 100 bullet holes which peppered the building. In the late hours of the battle, Union troops stormed the house & killed most of the snipers by hand to hand combat. In the early 1900’s the house was turned into a bed & breakfast. It was named Farnsworth Bed & Breakfast after the Union General Elon Farnsworth who was killed with 65 of his men after Pickett’s Charge. In 1972, the Schultz’s purchased the property & restored it to the original walls, rafters, & floors. The Shultz’s report the building houses up to 16 spirits. They have pinpointed some names which link these spirits to the house. Jeremy, an 8-year-old boy killed in an accident, is seen & heard crying in his bedroom. Mary, a nurse during the battle, is seen wondering the halls & felt tucking in guests. Employees have heard a harp echoing from the attic & footsteps pacing the floor. It’s said that a soldier is the culprit of these actions & he may have been killed there during the Union raid. An old woman in 1800’s garb has been seen & mistaken as an employee. She paces in the kitchen & bar. She has been said to pull on employees’ aprons & act rude toward them. Shadows & full body apparitions have been seen in the dining area & disappear when they have caught too much attention. #farnsworthhouse #hauntedgettysburg #hauntedtravel We just finished analyzing our evidence from our paranormal investigation of the Gettysburg Orphanage.
