Although no deaths were ever reported in the building, and it’s not clear who the spirits are, according to ghost hunter and historian John Tobin, these spirits appear to be a man who helped dig the tavern’s basement, a young woman, and two children. Kramer had reportedly felt someone touching her hair, and had also experienced what she believed was a ghost moving a pendulum. The Times Union reported at the time that Myla Kramer, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Affairs for Clifton Park, believed there were spirits inhabiting the building.
