History & local legend
The former King George Inn in Dorneyville has several distinct apparition stories. One concerns an employee entering the second-floor stockroom and finding a bearded man in a colonial-style tunic and lace-trimmed shirt. The figure was translucent. Seeing the employee’s startled expression, he supposedly tipped his head back and laughed without making a sound.
Elsewhere in the inn, a woman and a little girl in old-fashioned clothes were said to walk from the entrance into the first-floor dining room. Staff also spoke of a mischievous presence they called Charlie, associated with slamming doors and objects shifting in the kitchen.
