Marvin Still Haunts The Widow's Tavern The resident ghost (Marvin), at The Widow’s Tavern & Grille, was the innkeeper in the time when the the old stagecoach stop was an inn of somewhat ill repute. It is told that he had an affair with one of the “house ladies” and then was jilted. One version of the story says that he killed her, and then hung himself in the hotel. Over the years, there have been many “Marvin-Like-Sightings" John Nyari and his father were the owners of Widows and recant the story of the staff members working one night who saw a white shadow descending the steps. And then the waitress, Connie Bath who recalls the eerie experience of three waitresses working on the same Valentine night who each reported mysterious blood splotches on their uniforms. Shannon Flutter worked at Widow’s for 15 years. One evening she was ringing up checks at the basement door, when she turned around to notice that the door handle in the basement turned, There was no one there, and no one on the steps. She froze, scared out of her wits, but there was no one there, no one at all. The most incredible Marvin sighting is the story told by the cleaning lady who was in the tavern with the manager. The doors were all locked. Suddenly the cleaning lady noticed an old man in tattered clothes sitting at the bar drinking beer from a stein. She assumed the manager had let him in. She asked the manager, and he said he hadn’t let anyone in. The doors were still locked, and no one could have entered. When she returned to the bar the old man was gone. Sometimes the lights go on and off at will, doors swing, and a photo was taken by a customer with a distinct silouette of an unseen person near the subject. And even now, strange occurances prevail and will as Marvin continues to call the Widow's Tavern and Grille his earthly home.
