History & local legend

Evans-Blitz American Legion Post 922 in Canadensis, Monroe County, has a ghost story centered on a former member named Samuel Everitt, known as Sam. In the account collected by PIRA, members associated several unexplained incidents inside the post with him.

Playing cards reportedly changed color, ashtrays moved, and footsteps sounded like someone walking through the building in boots.
