History & local legend
Furst Corner Restaurant in Beech Creek has stories of a presence that interfered with the work of closing for the night. Former dishwasher Pat Manley described those experiences in a signed account posted in November 2014, recalling work at the restaurant as a teenager.
After Manley put the chairs on the tables, a brief trip out of the room could end with some chairs back on the floor, each returned to its former position. Pictures appeared upside down. In the upstairs area where rooms were rented, footsteps seemed to approach along the hall and then stop, with nobody visible when they should have arrived.
A separate house legend associates the smell of cigars with Mr. Furst, said to have died while trying to rescue animals from a burning barn.
