History & local legend
Hotel Evergreen, commonly called the Greens, stood along Route 99 in the Edinboro area and was remembered for weekend music sessions before ending its life as a pizza shop. A fire destroyed the building in 2008.
The last owners' family called one reputed presence Worthington. A family member recalled objects being rearranged and a stepfather telling Worthington to stop when the incidents frightened the children.
A separate story concerned a woman in white outside the second- and third-floor windows. An Edinboro resident who knew the owners' son recalled hearing that account.
