Former Iron Kettle

The Weeping at Camp Hill’s Iron Kettle

The elongated restaurant building stands beside State Road in the Camp Hill area.

History & local legend

The former Iron Kettle in Camp Hill, later the Brewhouse Grille on State Road, had a story about a bride whose presence could be felt inside. Visitors described pressure in the head, headaches or sudden sadness, and one family reported round lights in two photographs.

A contributor who made more than five visits offered a different explanation for the physical sensation, believing it came from the way the building sat at an angle. That visitor still remembered hearing a sound like a woman crying.
