History & local legend
The Farnsworth House Inn stands on Baltimore Street in Gettysburg, where its marked brickwork recalls the 1863 battle. The inn’s supernatural traditions also include encounters that sound more like an old household continuing its daily life.
One recurring figure is Jeremy, described as a child spirit. Stories associated with him mention rolling marbles, quiet laughter, and tugs at a visitor’s clothes. Another presence is called Mary, a midwife said to take a protective interest in guests. In the Sara Black Room, people have reported a touch in their hair, a weight on the mattress, or the sensation of someone tucking them into bed.
