Morguen Toole
Meyersdale, Pennsylvania
Erected in the late 1800s, the building was home for many years to Baer & Company Hardware and R. Reich Furniture and Mortuary. Both businesses thrived until the mid-1900s, but felt the effect of economic and social changes occurring over time. In the 1960s, a local businessman purchased both buildings, broke holes through the common center wall and converted the structure into one facility that housed a large furniture store with open hours from Monday to Saturday, and was home to worship services every Sunday. The store remained open for several years but fell on tough times. It was later sold to a local family. The business enjoyed success in the facility and were staples to the downtown district for many years. Time has a way of catching us all, and after 40 years, the building once again changed ownership. Anxious to ride on the successes of businesses past, a new company moved into the building around 2006 but was unable to sustain a solid foothold and thus abandoned the facility after only a few short years. It's current owners operate this location as a restaurant, hotel, bar, event facility, and so much more!
Claims of Paranormal Activity Include:
-Lights bulbs throughout the building are busting, breaking, needing to be changed often. The situation all occurred even after the whole electrical works have been updated and replaced with new. Some light bulbs appearing and disappearing at various times in various locations.
-There is an apartment inside the building. The owner has claimed that on lots of evenings, she would wake up with a feeling (not a bad feeling, just something got her up). It usually happened around 4 AM.
-Shadows have been seen darting around the building, specifically around the balcony area near the kitchen.
-Lights have turned on and off by themselves.
-People have claimed to hear footsteps walking in the building when no one else should be there, or even in those areas.
-One of the owners heard a knocking coming from below the floor.
-One person claimed that they were touched while there.
-Doors leading to the attic were found open, even after knowing well they were shut tight.

Potential Paranormal Evidence:
The audio recorder caught an unknown voice, which we believed to have been from the spirit of Margaret. Margaret was the wife of a past owner.

A full spectrum camera was set up with a video. With everyone gone, this strange light was caught in the large room. We are not certain what it is.
