Old Red Mill Inn, 8326 Main St, Clarence, NY - Ghosts and Hauntings on Waymarking.com

The Old Red Mill Inn is a restaurant with a lot of history. The farmhouse that houses the restaurant dates back to 1858, when it was a dairy farm with more than 100 acres. The restaurant opened in 1962.

The restaurant owner asked a mediator to come into the restaurant and try and figure out if there really are ghosts in the Old Red Mill Inn. According to one of the bartenders, there are a number of ghosts in the Inn, including that of an old man, an old woman and a conductor. Upon entrance into one of the old dining rooms, there is a beautifully laid out dining car. The mediator brought into the Inn to detect spirits claimed that there was a conductor standing in the dining car, waving and smiling at the people passing by.

The upstairs portion of the restaurant was also the scene of some spooky occurrences. According to the bartender, a waitress was downstairs when she heard noises and shuffling upstairs. Thinking it was merely the manager moving things around, she paid no attention to the noise. When she later found out that the manager had already left for the day, she went upstairs only to find that the lights were off and one chair from each table was moved into a circle.

In the restaurant's smaller room, paintings seem to tilt without human intervention and items on the wall suddenly fall without breaking or disturbing anything else. It was in this room that the mediator saw the old man. He claimed that the old man had communicated that he meant no harm, but simply hated the loud noise from the restaurant.

A waiter at the Old Red Mill Inn was in the bathroom late at night washing his hands when he noticed a man in the mirror. The waiter began to apologize to the man for intruding accidentally, but when the waiter turned around, he found no one there.

Another of the many ghost stories occurred in the kitchen, where the cooks came in early to set up for a party and for no reason, an unplugged meat slicer turned on.

The ghosts are shy around guests, as there have not been reports of customers having ever seen or heard anything.
