History & local legend
The Moravian Book Shop in Bethlehem traces its business history to 1745, although it moved between locations before settling on Main Street in the nineteenth century. Its ghost lore includes a story in which an unexplained visitor appeared to be helpful.
Employee Jane Clugston recalled following a dark figure toward the kitchen and discovering that appliances had been left running. The experience became part of the shop’s reputation for a presence in its back rooms. Instead of frightening someone away, the figure seemed to draw attention to a practical problem that needed to be dealt with before closing.
