Seven Stars Tavern - Real Pilesgrove Haunted Place

The Seven Stars Tavern was a popular bar for travelers in the 18th century, and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also quite hosted, with guests reporting the phantoms of several long dead men. One such spirit is Peter Louderback, who allegedly buried his valuables in the ground outside so that the British would not pilfer them during the Revolution and now returns to search for them.

Another ghost from the same period belongs to an alleged Tory spy who was hanged from a beam in the attic. Loud footsteps and the sounds of a scuffle can sometime be heard. The pirate Bluebeard, whose body was discovered in nearby Oldman’s Creek after having been warned not to leave the tavern on a stormy night, is also said to haunt the old building.

Today the Seven Stars Tavern is a private residence, but the owners open it for public tours during the spring.
