Stemie’s Place, Easton, PA – 11/8/2010

Stemie’s was formerly the Black Horse Tavern/Inn and was built in 1783. Many reports have been told of the brutal murder of a mobster, a former wairtress and claims of other paranormal activity have been told by the owners past and present as well as patrons.

Story has it that on July 22, 1928 Saverio Damiano was at the Black Horse Tavern talking on the phone when four gangsters entered with shotguns and revolvers and began firing at Saverio. Saverio aka… The Wop, stumbled down a flight of stairs leading to the basement while still being pumped with lead as the gunmen followed behind. Saverio was able to drag himself through a room and into a hallway 20 feet from the stairs where he dropped face down. One gunman fired a single round into his back and said “Well, I guess he’s had enough”. They say today that he is the resident ghost of the tavern who is seen, felt and heard by many.

Ringing Rocks, Upper Black Eddy, PA – 11/5/2010

A four-acre area with rocks piled up in the middle of the woods where boulders, when struck, emit a sound more musical than the typical rock thud. Legend has it the rocks only ring when struck in the park, compasses do not work, animals stay away from the rocks and will go around the field never through it.

Findings:

Taking home a rock that rings in the park we found it still rings just like at the park. Compasses do work in the field. We saw squirels run through the outer edge of the field, animals would avoid the rocks because they’d be more vulnerable to predators then in the tree line. Nothing paranormal here just a beautiful landscap with gorgeous waterfalls nearby!

Notes:

A very unique place to visit. Only certain types of hammers work to make the distinctive ‘ring’ noise when striking the rocks.

Notes:

As for debunking some of the myths, we could easily hear voices from the neighboring houses from time to time, so it’d be no surprise if someone didn’t realize how close a few houses were that at some point heard a baby crying that sounded as if it was from the bridge itself!
