The Story

The former Pettibone Tavern is associated with Abigail, a woman who, in local legend, was killed by her husband after he discovered a lover. Haunted Places recounts sightings by staff and customers, with a persistent cold area near the upstairs women’s restroom. Another version identifies the presence as a child rather than Abigail. Murder narrative is attributed legend, not established family history.
