THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Gabriel Davies Tavern is associated with Revolutionary War-era ghost stories and reports of unexplained activity. Visitors have described phantom footsteps, shadow figures, and disembodied voices inside the historic tavern. Some believe former patrons and soldiers still linger within the building.
Gabreil Daveis Tavern was built in 1756 and the attic was turned into a hospital by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Reports say the attic still retains its original bloodstained furniture, and spirits can be heard walking and suffering there at night. Also, former owner William Schock is said to sit in his rocking chair smoking a pipe.
