History & local legend
The Clifford Hotel stands at the historic Clifford Corners crossroads in Susquehanna County. An 1872 map placed the Roberts brothers' hotel on Main Street, with a saddle shop beside it and the post office across the road. Later buildings continued the site's hotel use.
Its ghost stories describe an apparently busy establishment even when empty: illuminated windows, music audible outside, and the voices of men, women and children in the lobby. Another version assigned a hostile presence to the upper floor.
A self-described former employee responded in 2008 that the upstairs had not been frightening during their time working there.
