William Phelps General Store, Palmyra
The William Phelps General Store in Palmyra, NY, is described as haunted by family members like William and Julius Phelps, who are said to interact with visitors by getting angry when the counter is approached or by swinging a gas lamp. The museum, a time capsule of the last day of operation in 1940, also features reports of strange noises, apparitions, and ghostly cats, and a full-body apparition of Sibyl Phelps. William and Julius Phelps are known to show their presence. William might get angry if visitors go behind the counter, and Julius could swing a gas lamp as a signal. Visitors report experiencing strange noises, apparitions, and sometimes even the touch of a young girl's hands in the residence. A black cat has been reported to appear in front of the store door. Mayme Phelps is said to have locked people out of the store.
