The General Lafayette Inn, built in 1732, the Inn has finally been made available as a subject for teams of paranormal investigators and other interested parties hoping to discover what they believe to be an Inn brimming with haunted activity. The Inn�s current owner, Michael McGlynn, recalls one night in 1996 when he was working late in his office on the second floor.
It was late and I was working. The door was closed, and all of a sudden I heard the doorknob rattle, as if someone was trying to get in. I looked over, but the knob wasn�t moving.
McGlynn claims the door to his office is an original door that was installed when the Inn was first built.
�It�s happened a few times. There I am working, and the knob begins to rattle. I always looked over and saw the doorknob wasn�t moving. I got up a few times and went to the door, but no one was there,� he said.
Since 1996 alone, the Inn has had employees and guests experience everything from a chair twirling on one leg in the pool room, to footsteps coming from the second floor when no one was there, to messages from an old woman through a Ouija board in the upstairs Club Room, to several sightings of an older woman crossing through the smaller upstairs dining rooms.
In 2001, two teams of paranormal investigators were allowed late-night entry to the Inn to monitor paranormal activity. The first team of investigators experienced variations in electromagnetic readings in the same location under the same conditions, electromagnetic activity that suddenly picked up in intensity and then dissipated in the Club Room, photographs of orbs in the Club Room, sequential photographs of a round anomaly moving across the service area between the Club Room and the Franklin Room (connected to hall area just outside the office door), and footsteps going only one way down the steps to the kitchen when only the investigators were upstairs. Calling in their friends from the Philadelphia Ghost Hunters Alliance for a second round with the alleged ghosts, both teams attempted to substantiate the first night�s readings.
