THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Ambler House Ruins are associated with local reports of ghostly apparitions and unexplained activity among the historic remains. Visitors have described shadow figures, mysterious voices, and unusual sensations after dark.
The circa 1750 Ambler House burned down three times: Once during the American Revolution (it was restored by Colonel John Ambler), again during the Civil War, and a third time in 1895. Its ruins are tended to by the National Park Service. The ghost here, Lydia, is said to walk the ruins awaiting the return of her love, Alexander.
