Ghosts of the Topton House Pub

The Topton House Pub was built around 1859, though some reports place its construction date as closer to 1866. During its heyday the Topton House Pub served as hotel, and during the Prohibition it even housed a speakeasy. Remnants of the old hidden staircase used during the 1920's can still be found in the basement. It shouldn't be surprising then that some claim this piece of history is haunted by a few spirits.

The Topton House Pub is located in Topton, Pennsylvania and some claim it is the most haunted building in the city. Stories of the hauntings and ghosts became so well known that investigators began examining the building for entities.

The most famous ghost to call the Topton House Pub home is that of a little girl named Emma. Staff and guests alike have spotted Emma, playing in the dining room. Some guests have even commented on how cute she is, before learning that there is no little girl in the building. Investigators have captured the sounds of her laughter and whispers on EVP's taken in the building. Emma is also known to trip some patrons in the dining room.

The building is also home to the ghost of a former priest. Employees claim that the priest doesn't like Christmas season. They have arrived early in the morning to find their decorations lying in the floor, and walked into rooms to find the decorations torn into pieces. Others have spotted the ghost of an old man standing in the kitchen near the stove. Some claim that he is the spirit of a former gardener at the hotel.

The Topton House is also home to the unusual scent of roses wafting through certain areas of the building. On an episode of "Ghost Hunters" explained that this could come from the vents in the building, but those in the area still think its unusual. At times the scent seems to be connected to the man in the kitchen. That would make sense if he truly is the spirit of a former gardener.

Guests of the hotel have also claimed to feel people in their room, even when they were there alone. Others have experienced what sounds like people whispering in the next room, or strange figures and shadows moving through the building.

The Topton House Pub is open to the public, and is located in Topton, Pennsylvania. If you see a little girl in the dining room, or an elderly man in the kitchen, don't worry. They are just a few of the spirits unable to leave their favorite place.
