HENRYVILLE HOUSE (Paradise Twp., Monroe County) The historic Henryville opened for business in 1825, and was quite a haven for outdoorsmen. It was visited in the 1880s by Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Buffalo Bill Cody and Annie Oakley. They all wanted to try their luck at trout fishing at Paradise Creek. But the glamor eventually wore off, and it became a budget stop for families visiting the Poconos. They got their money's worth, though. The Shadowlands reports that the place was haunted by nine spooks - they list a ghost child, three men and five women that roamed the halls of the HH. PIRA gets a little more specific with its' ghouls, ticking off a screaming lady that loved to get the staff up in the middle of the night, the spirit of a maid that hung herself in the basement and haunted the House, and a man that was burned to death. But the ghosts might as well take up fishing now. The Henryville House was abandoned in the 1970s and finally torn down in 2004.
