Abigail's Grille and Bar in Simsbury, formerly Pettibone Tavern, is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Abigail Pettibone, a woman murdered by her husband after he discovered her affair. Witnesses and employees report unexplained cold spots, lights turning on and off, and even spectral apparitions, particularly near the second-floor women's restroom. Other paranormal activity, such as moving furniture and items falling off shelves, also contributes to the tavern's reputation as a haunted location. According to local legend, Abigail Pettibone had an affair while her husband was away, and he returned to discover her with her lover. Her husband allegedly murdered both Abigail and her lover with an ax in a fit of rage. Her restless spirit is said to linger in the historic building, which was built in 1780 and served as a tavern. Visitors and employees have reported seeing spectral visions of a woman. An eerie chill is often felt when passing the second-floor women's restroom. Lights frequently turn themselves on or off, and furniture has been seen moving on its own. Items, such as a bottle of wine, have been observed falling from shelves or out of the cellar. The building was constructed by Jonathon Pettibone, Jr. in 1780 and served as a significant stop on the Boston-to-Albany Turnpike, even hosting figures like George Washington and John Adams. The original tavern burned down in 1800 but was rebuilt on the same foundation in 1803. Another fire damaged the building in 2008. The establishment was renamed Abigail's Bar and Grille as a nod to its most famous resident and the building's resident ghost.
