The Copper Crow Haunting
Oh yes, be sure to keep your eyes open. At least two spirits haunt the place, and several strange occurrences and experiences have been reported.
“It is said the ghost of a young child, reported in a 19th-century newspaper to have tragically drowned while playing in a cistern on the property, still plays at the bar, often knocking objects off countertops. There are also reports of a 19th-century night watchman who still spends his time patrolling the second floor. Employees often hear his voice or footsteps walking above them while working alone.”
