The Imps of Amity Hall Hotel - Duncannon, PA

Amity Hall Hotel located in Duncannon, PA is host to a strange sort of haunt. Long ago, before the days of the Civil War the building was a residence.  Apparently, the man went crazy one night and killed the entire family.  The woman was found stabbed and beaten to death on the front porch. The husband and kids were found upstairs.  After murdering his kids, he took his own life.

Over the years the house was used as a hotel for travelers along the Pennsylvania Canal route.  It served as a hospital during the Civil War.  Unexplained sightings have taken place both inside and outside of the house. Particularly in the upstairs, strange blue or white lights have been seen.  Sometimes glowing eerily, sometimes bright flashes.  An apparition of a woman has been seen staring out of the attic window.  These paranormal occurrences seem particularly active when men are present.

Outside of the Hotel in the parking lot, there have been sightings of small ominous looking dark shadowy figures roaming around the parking area.  It is believed that these are a sort of shadow being of imps which are a demon like creature. These figures are seen predominantly when males are present and linger outside their vehicles. Perhaps these are the spirits of the murdered children roaming the grounds, causing mischief whenever they can searching for their murdering father.
