Built between 1854 and 1856 to accommodate the merger between the Franklin and Marshall colleges, the "Old Main" building is allegedly the most haunted location on campus. Paranormal activity often involves the building's bell ringing by itself in the dead of night.

🎶 Spooky scary skeletons.💀

Discover the magical retreat known as the @drumoremill in this armchair explorer article. This 30-acre property nestled among the hills of southern Lancaster County on the banks of Fishing Creek contains a grist mill, cooper shop, farmhouse, and bank barn. Its storied history includes being a stop on the Underground Railroad and Civil War lookout. Click the bio link in the profile to learn more about this beautiful and historic property.

Today's #hauntedlancaster installment is an educational piece about Lancaster's favorite architect, C. Emlen Urban's 6,000 square foot mausoleum in Greenwood Cemetery.

According to urban legend, the @lititzspringsinn is plagued by eerie and inexplicable paranormal activities whenever the portrait of General Sutter is moved from its place above the sitting area fireplace. People have reported seeing shadows where there shouldn't be any. Others have heard footsteps in vacant halls and on empty staircases. Sometimes, utensils even appear to fly across the kitchen. Most longtime employees will not even touch the painting. Click the bio link in the profile to read more.

Lancaster County is full of communities with peculiar names. This series examines their curious etymology. Up next: Churchtown.
