Norristown, Pennsylvania · Historic house
Preservation volunteers told The Times Herald of phantom cat sounds in Selma's basement, whispered words near visitors' ears and an electrically disconnected bedroom buzzer heard ringing. Investigators also described a dark form rising from a bathtub in the former servants' bathroom, an account tied specifically to the third floor.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania · Hotel
Ghost-tour accounts place a rifle-carrying Union soldier on the inn's staircase, marching before disappearing into a room. Guests also describe footsteps above the Blue Room and a figure sitting on a bed. Children's apparitions and a spectral cat give the inn's folklore a more domestic side.
Solebury Township, Pennsylvania · Road or bridge
Bucks County's bridge-history project records Van Sant's as a crybaby bridge. In the legend, a woman kills her child and herself, leaving cries that are said to linger after dark. The tragic backstory is folklore; the source does not establish an actual death corresponding to the tale.
Williamsport, Pennsylvania · Cemetery
The winding grounds of Wildwood Cemetery have tales of a restless fireman’s mausoleum and an eerie divide between its older and newer graves.
