Jarrettown Hotel

History & local legend

An October 2001 paranormal visit to the Jarrettown Inn in Montgomery County produced a story that continued after one investigator went home. The outing had been organized through radio station Y100. While inside the inn’s barn, the investigator heard footsteps above her and asked the guide who was upstairs. He told her no one was there and that there was no way to reach that area.

That night at home, she heard a woman crying. She checked her windows and searched the house, then found her daughter apparently asleep. The following morning, before the investigator mentioned what she had heard, her daughter complained that a sobbing woman had kept her awake.

When the investigator contacted the radio station afterward, she learned of another story associated with the inn: a woman seen crying at a second-floor window. In her account, that was information she had not been given during the visit, making the similar sound at home especially unsettling.
