The Old Jail Museum
Dating back to the 1800s, The Old Jail Museum in Jim Thorpe is eerie any time of year. The corridors and cell blocks of the foreboding structure hold countless ghost stories, secrets, and chilling paranormal activity. During weekends in September and October, the former jailhouse offers a special Halloween tour, where visitors can search for ghosts and learn all about the jail’s dark past.
The Haunted Candle Shoppe Tour
At first glance, the seemingly ordinary Candle Shoppe of the Poconos is no cause for a scare. That is until you discover the home’s dark history. Dr. William Redwood Fisher originally owned the house. He lived and worked there for many years, keeping a biological research laboratory in the basement. In the lab, he used monkeys as his test subjects, and his research eventually led to the development of vaccines for Smallpox and Yellow Fever. Now, many visitors report hearing the screams of the monkeys, capturing the doctor in photographs, and even feeling the monkey’s fur brush against them.
Run Back to The French Manor
After a night of exploring the dark woods of the Poconos, come back to your room at The French Manor for a haunting-free evening. Our beautiful mountainside bed & breakfast has the best accommodations and a beautiful location on Huckleberry Mountain. From our excellent amenities (like an in-house restaurant!) or our delicious gourmet breakfast, we’ve made sure every detail has been perfected so you can put the ghost stories behind you and enjoy the Pocono Mountains like never before.
