Crier in the Country Restaurant, Glen Mills
The Crier in the Country Restaurant in Glen Mills, PA, is described as haunted by several spirits, notably Lydia Powell, the former owner who is believed to linger on the property after being forced to sell the house built in 1740. Ghostly phenomena reported at the restaurant include moving objects, mysterious cold spots and drafts, swinging chandeliers, and apparitions, including a woman in a long white dress. Witnesses have seen a woman in a long white dress and, at times, a figure that resembles a former nanny, Nanny Pearce. Flowers from a large vase were found on the floor, and furniture has been moved without explanation. Experiences include sudden cold drafts and chandeliers beginning to swing, according to this Reddit post and the Delco Times. Guests have reported hearing the sound of a tin whistle, with one account detailing a creepy underground tunnel area, notes the Reddit post. Some visitors report a strange atmosphere of sadness and foreboding, possibly linked to the spirit of a nanny who remained at the house after her duties with the children ended.
