History & local legend
The Inn at Saint Peters Village overlooks French Creek in Chester County. A guest named Ron described a stay there in an account posted in October 2015. He and his wife were on the second floor, and the innkeeper had left them as the building’s only overnight occupants. At 4:03 a.m., he checked his phone after they were awakened by a child crying. The sound stopped and started for about half an hour.
A former cook named Kevin contributed a separate memory in March 2016, recalling his work at the inn in the late 1970s. Employees then called their ghost “Herbie.” He remembered doors slamming, moans upstairs and a downstairs bathroom door opening and closing after the kitchen had shut down.
