History & local legend
The Harmony Inn in Butler County developed from a private mansion into an inn and, later, a bar and restaurant. Staff stories had already given the building a haunted reputation when Iron City Paranormal visited on March 1, 2019.
Before the evening’s customers left, manager Eric showed the team an old photograph he said he had discovered behind a printer and computer. In the photograph, a shape at the top of the attic stairs resembling a person’s head and body appeared to lean around a post. The investigators photographed the same area, hoping to reproduce the shape through an ordinary feature of the stairway, but reported that they could not match it. They published both the original and their comparison image.
Their overnight investigation ran from about 1 a.m. to 6 a.m. Elsewhere in the building, they reported an unexpected sound in the second-floor dining area: a dog’s yelp. The report leaves the person in the stairway photograph unidentified.
