WINDBER, Pa. — "Just
about everybody has a story that comes here ... Hearing footsteps in
the hall ... A lot of people mention being touched ... I've seen a chair
shift out in front of me and then move to the right."
The
former Grand Midway Hotel in Windber has been called one of the most
haunted places in western Pennsylvania, with one room in particular that
creeps out all of its guests.
The building is now a private
home. It's reserved only for friends and family, but 6 News reporter
Maria Miller got an exclusive tour of the building on Friday and found
out you can, too, if the price is right.
Blair Murphy is an
independent filmmaker from Los Angeles. He randomly bought the property
with some friends about 10 years ago and quickly turned it into an
unusual home.
"There's 32 rooms and each room has a theme. It's a
big canvas basically," said Murphy. "I'm an artist and a lot of my
friends are artists, so we're cultivating this building into a real
landmark. We're trying to, anyway."
But the fixtures and art are
not the only things that may look creepy. Murphy said he noticed unusual
things happening as soon as he moved in.
"It was creepy and I
didn't know why. I was raised in a funeral home. That stuff doesn't
bother me," said Murphy. "But for six weeks I didn't understand
footsteps I was hearing, TVs were turning on. I mean, I wouldn't believe
these stories if I heard them myself, but I went through that and it
was very weird."
