The Inn at Phillips Mill

History & local legend

The Inn at Phillips Mill stands across River Road from the old gristmill in Bucks County. Its building began as a barn on Aaron Phillips’s farm before becoming an inn. The ghost most often associated with it is a woman in a high-collared dress, reportedly seen rocking in a chair on the second floor or passing close to guests on the stairs.

A former guest named Grace White added a more startling account in a June 2014 comment on Haunted Places. Describing a stay roughly eight years earlier, she said she awoke to the sensation of being pulled out of bed. She landed on the floor and heard the room’s door slam. Her mother also reported footsteps on the staircase when no one was visible.

Visit Bucks County includes the woman in its account of the inn’s hauntings, particularly the reported sensation of someone brushing past on the stairs.
