History & local legend

At Mad Anthony's Bier Stube in Ambridge, the resident spirits were said to be a young boy and girl from the old Harmonist community. James C. Reynolds recorded their story for the Valley Tribune in 1986.

Workers and guests reported footsteps on cellar stairs, opening and closing doors, swaying chandeliers, and a piano playing by itself. The proprietor regarded the pair as harmless. When he finished locking up, he would wish them good night.
