History & local legend

Room 7 at HollyHedge Estate in Bucks County was the setting of an investigation on March 9, 1999. Sharon G., Rachel and Jen were sitting in darkness when they heard three creaks from the short hall leading to the private bathroom, followed by what sounded like a faucet being opened, running briefly and shutting off.

In her report written two days later, Sharon said the women tested the taps and recognized the water sound. They eventually traced the creaking to a rear door directly below the room, which could be heard clearly upstairs. The apparent running water remained unexplained.

A fourth investigator, Andy K., joined them later. Both accounts describe thumping in the small hallway, while Andy's separate report also notes the creaking door.
