This week we’re heading to Philadelphia to explore the eerie history and paranormal claims surrounding the iconic Divine Lorraine Hotel. Originally designed by Willis G. Hale and opened in 1894, the building began as luxury apartments. Its most fascinating chapter began in 1948, when it was purchased by the International Peace Mission Movement, led by the controversial Father Divine.

Revered by followers as a living god, Father Divine transformed the hotel into one of the first racially integrated hotels in the United States, creating a space centered on equality and affordable hospitality. Today visitors report doors opening and closing on their own, objects mysteriously moving, and carts rolling through empty hallways. Shadowy apparitions have also been seen. And perhaps strangest of all? The reports of phantom music drifting from Father Divine’s former penthouse… played backwards.

What happens when a building lives a hundred lives—and refuses to let any of them go? Once a family home, then a tavern, later a furniture store, and even a county morgue, North Country Brewing has seen it all—and some say, it still holds onto it. Visitors and staff alike have reported eerie encounters: shadowy apparitions caught on camera casually taking a seat at the bar, the unmistakable sound of dragging footsteps echoing through empty rooms, and the lingering scent of cherry cigar smoke with no one in sight. Is it just atmosphere… or something pouring over from the past? This video contains music from Shutterstock, licensed by Splice video editing app.

Come take an educational journey with us through the haunted universities we've discussed in seasons past! While each of their histories vary greatly, today, they all share a commonality: wide reports of paranormal activity.
