From New Hope PA to Fairfield (just outside of Gettysburg) PA

Another great day.  I only had a 150 mile drive to my next haunted B & B so I had lots of time to kill.  I took a tour of Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.  It has been featured on Ghost Hunters as one of the most haunted locations in America.  Here's a picture I stole from the internet and one I took myself:


 
Lots of loud school children running around which precluded me from gathering any voices from the dead.  Al Capone was an inmate and was given the royal treatment.  Look at a regular inmates cell and look at his:


I really wanted to stay at this super scary place in Reading PA but they never returned my call so I headed for my old standby...Gettysburg.  I pretty much scored tonight.  I was able to procure the Fairfield Inn in Fairfield, PA.  Built in 1757, it has 10,000 square feet.  It has had such notables as Patrick Henry (give me liberty or give me death).  I'm staying in his room.  During the Civil War, the Confederates General used this Inn as his headquarters.  This was also an underground railroad where slaves were hidden until they could be sent to safety.   Eisenhower has stayed here several times.  Here's the good news...I have the place to myself.  Even the owner is too scared to stay here.   I have already looked in all of the empty rooms and in all of their drawers and cabinets of course.  I can't sleep unless I'm aware of where everything is including all of their personal belongings.   I'll bet you can't wait until I'm a guest in your home.
I've already started "ghost hunting" as it were.  I purchased brand new super headphones at Walmart tonight.  I don't want to miss any faint messages from the dead. (like I've missed for the past 4 years)   I'm getting crazy high readings on my Electromagnetic Field Detector tonight.  Not sure why.
