The Story

Historic Shepherdstown recounts footsteps, moans and sounds of objects moving at night in the former inn. The museum’s best-known candidate for the ghost is Peyton Bull Smith, who was brought there after a duel and died upstairs. The organization itself presents the identification as one possible explanation for the building’s phantom.
