Earlier Sunsets, Cooling Temperatures, Lengthening Shadows: It’s Time to Explore Haunted Bucks County
The Haunted Places website positions itself as a collection spot for creepy destinations across the nation. Given its history and storied background, it’s not surprising to find a few entries here in Bucks County.
While most of these sites are commercial entities, one is a cemetery. So, a general reminder about respectful behavior — even in the hotels and inns mentioned — is prudent.

One of the oldest inns in America, the Logan Inn reportedly has a whole host of ghosts.
It was in operation through both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Guests claim to have seen an American Revolutionary war-era soldier beating his ghostly drum through the hotel.
Room six, “Emily’s Room,” is theorized to be one frequented by an otherworldly visitor. Guests will know she’s on hand from the scent of lavender before she appears.

The historic mansion and its grounds are the haunting place for the ghosts of Robert Bickley and a female entity believed to be his girlfriend. The haunting is said to occur every December 24th.
The woman appears on a black horse and holding a whip, and strikes at anyone who comes near. Robert then shows up and raps urgently on the mansion’s doors and windows.
