History & local legend

Brush Creek Inn in Warrendale was a family-operated gathering place whose history has been traced to 1886. Its ghost stories concern both the downstairs bar and the former guest rooms above it.

A Pennsylvania haunting collection circulating by 2005 described bottles breaking while apparently undisturbed or being thrown across the bar. Upstairs, beds were said to overturn in unoccupied rooms, while windows opened and closed without anyone operating them.
