The Penn Valley

Pennsylvania · United States · Hotel

Footsteps from the floor above. There is no floor above.

This log framed building at Bernville, Pennsylvania was built around 1854 and has been a country inn, a roadhouse and a stagecoach stop.

What is heard inside is unsettling in a very specific way.

Footsteps come from the floor above. There is no floor above.

Pots and pans are heard, along with other sounds from parts of the building where nothing is happening.

That one line about the missing floor is the best single sentence in this entire archive. It is checkable, it is unambiguous, and it removes at a stroke the explanation that covers most reports of footsteps overhead.

A stagecoach stop was a working building with people arriving at all hours, and log framed structures of that age have been altered repeatedly, which means a floor that existed once may not now.

The building has operated as an inn and restaurant.
