History & local legend
Cresheim Cottage on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia's Mount Airy neighborhood has a resident ghost known as Emily. Two restaurant operators described her presence in interviews several years apart, both placing much of the activity upstairs.
In 2005, Cresheim Cottage Café manager Kenneth Leger attributed flickering lights, missing objects, computer trouble and occasional photographic appearances to a young girl. He described the incidents as playful rather than frightening.
When Edgar Alvarez opened a new restaurant in the cottage, he reported hearing doors close upstairs late at night.
