History & local legend
The Narrows inn near Upper Black Eddy, formerly the Indian Rock Inn, was the setting of an account posted by J. C. Grant in October 2009. Grant and a fiancée stayed in a third-floor room and only compared their fears the following day.
Grant described a man encountered in the bathroom wearing a Union officer's uniform. He had untidy, shoulder-length brown hair and a conspicuous right eye that appeared to bulge like glass. A different figure, a young woman with long blond hair, sat at the foot of the bed, where a guest could feel her weight.
