LOCATION
Why is General Wayne Inn said to be haunted?
A tavern opened along the road to Philadelphia around 1704, later named for Revolutionary War general "Mad Anthony" Wayne, who reportedly drank there with his troops. Folklore held that a Hessian soldier killed nearby during the war never left, and staff over two centuries described footsteps on the stairs and glasses sliding untouched along the bar. The inn's reputation darkened for real in 1996, when co-owner Bart Johnson was shot and killed inside the building by chef Guy Sileo, a murder some later linked, uneasily, to the older ghost stories. The property was reconsecrated in 2005 as Congregation Ohev Shalom, an Orthodox synagogue, closing the book on more than 290 years as one of America's oldest reputedly haunted taverns.
