Collen Brook Farm

The Attic Window at Collen Brook Farm

Collen Brook’s stone farmhouse, with two dormers and a long porch, framed by autumn trees.

History & local legend

Collen Brook Farm in Upper Darby has an unusual interior feature: a small attic window looks into a bedroom below. During a Delaware Ghost Hunters visit on June 16, 2007, an investigator named Jason looked through it and reported a shadow crossing the bedroom doorway. A guest named Alicia described similar movement at a different point that evening.

The report says that part of the house was closed off while its resident was away. Jason also described impressions of two figures in the attic: a man in a long black coat with a chain attached to his glasses, and a girl keeping to a corner.
