Bull's Head Inn
The Haunting
The oldest building (1802) in Cobleskill has a storied history: it served as town hall, a masonic temple, a courthouse and meeting hall, was an inn, a residence and, since the 1960s, an inn again. However, the problems didn't start until after an earlier owner acquired a liquor license; unbeknownst to him, he had established the bar in the bedroom of Mrs. Grace Steacy (the last resident of the house), a member of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and a committed anti-alcohol advocate. Mrs. Steacy makes minor trouble, "tossing silverware off tables, knocking over glasses and throwing napkins about...an apparition in a long white dress or nightgown wandering through the dining room by staff working late at night." Guests have reported seeing a strange woman in "period dress" wandering the building and numerous strange events occur.
