History & local legend
The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort in Monroe County has a collection of stories centered on a woman in white. A 2024 report in East Stroudsburg University's student newspaper, The Stroud Courier, gathered accounts from people who had worked at the resort.
Employee Louis Yanick described faint crying associated with Room 105, as well as a toilet flushing unexpectedly. The woman in white is said to appear in a wedding dress in the nearby hallway. Different explanations have been attached to her, but the reports do not establish who she was.
Former employee Sara Pellegrino described a separate overnight investigation with two coworkers. They interpreted lights and responses from a spirit-box device as contact with a woman called Mary in a ballroom. Near the golf-course bridge, they believed they encountered another presence, called Dave.
