The Old Stone House was built in 1822 by John Brown and was a tavern and stagecoach stop until the 1870s, when the railroad came through. It was then leased as a farm and residence for more than 40 years, The building is now owned by the university and run by the history department. It is open for public tours on Saturdays.
The Center for Paranormal Study and Investigation in Boyers has done several paranormal studies in the old tavern on Route 8 in Slippery Rock, and was conducting ghost hunting sessions for the public on the first Friday of every month through October.
"When you are sitting here in the dark and the quiet, you can hear footsteps upstairs," Ms. Melnick said, adding that the specter of a woman in Victorian dress has been seen in a second-floor room that displays items from the 1800s.
The center staff was armed with video cameras, digital still cameras and voice recorders.
The group led by Ms. Davis and Bryan Barnes, case manager and lead paranormal investigator, started in the basement. After the tape recorder was set up and the cameras began to roll, the two started to try and draw out any spirits still inhabiting the house by talking to them.
"I'm Mo. Is there anybody here who wants to talk to us?" asked Ms. Davis.
"We're here to visit with you tonight," added Mr. Barnes. "Don't be afraid. Come out and join us."
Ms. Davis shined a special flashlight with a laser grid around the room. The grid would pick up a shadow if something invisible passed through it.
At one point, the temperature in a section of the basement dropped from 71.3 degrees to 70.9 degrees. Participant Jacob Ford, who said he works with paranormal investigations in South Carolina, said the light on his meter flickered a few times.
