Eagle Hotel, Waterford
The Eagle Hotel in Waterford, PA is reported to be haunted by several spirits, including that of its former owner, Amos Judson, who may still actively manage the building, and the unhappy spirit of Matilda or Tillie, who shows her frustration by moving objects and opening cupboards. British soldiers killed in a 1763 attack also linger on the first floor, and spirits of those buried outside the hotel have been seen tapping on windows. Amos Judson: The spirit of the former hotel owner is reported to be active, sometimes appearing sternly to "manage" the building, especially now that the hotel has been renewed as a restaurant and museum. Matilda or Tillie: This spirit is described as unhappy and mentally ill. Her presence is often indicated by small, disruptive actions like turning mats over or opening and slamming kitchen cupboards to show her frustration. Ghosts of British soldiers who died during the 1763 attack on nearby Fort LeBoeuf are said to frequent the first-floor dining rooms. The spirits of those whose graves were used to pave the street in front of the hotel are said to peer into windows and tap on them. Other spirits are believed to be attached to the ballroom, revisiting the happy times they experienced there. Margaret, a spirit who likes to visit her pin on display, is also mentioned. Objects may move on their own or be moved by spirits, such as the opening and slamming of kitchen cupboards. The spirits may interfere with electronics. Visitors may experience unexplained cold spots in the hotel. Some reports mention hearing whispers or calls from spirits. Spirits are said to be attached to different areas of the hotel, remembering and revisiting past events.
