This is a table at which one patron had her hair pulled by an unseen force.  Notice the orb in the corner.

Apparitions have been observed in the hallway just off of this meeting room.  These photos wer taken by Investigators Juliano and Palagruto.

Notice the white line coming down from the ceiling on the upper right hand corner.  That did not appear on two other photos that were taken right after this from the same spot and camera.  This shot was taken right before the chandelier pictured start to move on it's own.  We believe that this is either ectoplasm mist forming or a light rod fading out.
Another photo of that same area with a different camera.  There is no glass on this picture and we do not believe that the anomaly is natural.
 
 The INN Philadelphia was originally built in 1824 and consists of two 19th century townhouses  built on one of the oldest street blocks in America.  The INN was authentically restored after it was destroyed by fire in 1987.  The block of Camac street on which it is located also has an underground tunnel that was part of the "Underground Railroad".  The ghosts that inhabit this building have been documented in the book, Philadelphia Ghost Stories by Charles J Adams.  SJGR would like to thank Mr. Lutz for being so kind and allowing us to investigate his establishment.
