The Story

An elderly man, a drummer boy and women in dark or gray clothing appear in Blue Coat Inn stories. Great American Ghost Tour also records organ music, names called in the attic and doors slamming. An August 2026 community discussion recalls silverware moving and chairs being knocked from tables after closing. These accounts concern the demolished inn, not necessarily its replacement.
