THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Inn at Jim Thorpe sits in the heart of one of Pennsylvania's most haunted towns and is associated with reports of ghostly guests and unexplained activity. Visitors have described apparitions, phantom footsteps, mysterious voices, and encounters believed to be connected to the town's Victorian past and nearby Old Jail.
The inn, originally built in 1833, is said to be haunted. Guests have reported seeing orbs and shadows in their photographs, and even in their beds. TVs operate by themselves, objects move, and in some instances, guests have awakened to find the chairs in their room have been turned upside-down while they slept. It should be noted that several famous people have spent nights here, including Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, President William H. Taft, Buffalo Bill, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller.
