Pennsylvania's Knickerbocker Hotel: Eternally Checked-In Guests

Built over 130 years ago, the Knickerbocker Hotel is located in Linesville, PA, exactly halfway between New York and Chicago. The overwhelming paranormal activity in the hotel proves that some guests checked in and never checked out.
One woman left her purse at her feet in the dining area of the hotel. When she reached down to get something out of her bag, it was gone. Current owner Peg Knickerbocker told the woman to ask the building to please "give it back." After pleading, "Building, please return my purse," and clearing the room of all people, the women came back to find the purse exactly where it went missing.
Another guest at the Knickerbocker took her grandson to the bathroom when another woman came in and started impatiently tapping her feet. The grandmother apologized and said that her grandson would be done in a minute, but the impatient woman left the bathroom. When the grandma came back out to tell Peg's sister Clara Hyder about the incident, Clara informed her that they were the only guests in the entire hotel and no other woman was there.
