Who Was Running Downstairs at the K-Ville?

History & local legend

The ghost stories at the old Kleinfeltersville Hotel & Tavern concerned the rooms above the bar. Owners Heather Hollinger and her husband lived on the second floor, with tenants on the third. Several times, those tenants asked the Hollingers who had been running around in the rooms beneath them all night. The owners said they had been asleep.

Heather described the recurring question to a visitor writing as American Tom in August 2004. During their conversation in the bar, she also admitted that she barricaded her own room before going to sleep.

The hotel that housed the Hollingers and their tenants burned in 2015. A rebuilt K-Ville tavern now occupies the same corner in Kleinfeltersville.
