Clay Haus restaurant is located on State Route 22 in Somerset. They serve very good food, and its haunted! The owner, Betty Snider, her son, and her grandson dont deny that the house is haunted, theyll answer any questions you have. Theyll also tell you stories about their sitings. Information and photos by graveaddction the information below is from the Clay Haus website Rosemary worked at Clay Haus from the start. She and Betty had been introduced by their minister and Lifes never been the same since! Rosemary said. Im a little out there, she laughed but I didnt believe in Ghosts at first. Rosemary became a believer after something knocked on the door. She was in the kitchen when there was a firm knocking on the back door which opens to the fire escape. She opened it, but there was nobody there and the fire escape is too high for someone to disappear in the time it took for her to open the door. For me, its just a feeling, a presence, says Scott It used to terrify me, I wouldnt come in here by myself after closing or after dark. I dont feel that way now. As time goes on, if there is a presence, I just catch it out of the corner of my eye. Ill turn to say something to someone standing behind me or watching me from the doorway, but theres no one there. I feel like Im always dodging spirits walking by at the entrance to the bar. And the weird thing is the activity around here frequently coincides with some special or catastrophic event. The week before a tornado knocked down our barn there was a lot of activity, a scurrying down the stairs. And theres been a lot of activity this week, Scott added. Well see what happens! He gestured at his arm. My hairs standing up just telling you about it! If they - the ghosts - are here, theyve accepted us. In fact they trap us here! Its tough to start up a restaurant. At the beginning if we thought I dont want to be doing this any more, it seemed like they would cause something to happen - like a week of unbelievable business when we really needed it. We stirred the whole building up. They seemed to be so excited about us cleaning it up! Downstairs, the keeping room is a charming pioneer-flavored room in the basement with a huge fireplace at one end. It still has its original glass windows as well as the original door with an enormous stone threshold. This is where the family did all their living and cooking. One evening, Betty and Rosemary were sitting down in the keeping room after hours alone. Suddenly, something began to walk down the stairs from the landing. I just looked up and saw them coming down those steps, Betty said. Rosemary only saw a triangular shaped blur, while Betty saw three ditinct people - male, walking down the stairs. Two down, one behind. I looked at them. They stopped with a start and looked at me as if startled to see us. Betty described their clothes as dark colored shirts and pants, not flashy. They were middle-aged, hatless and had no facial hair. Rosemary laughed as she remembered their reaction. Betty looked at me Did you see that? I looked at her Did you see that? Shortly after that sighting, Betty saw a single ghostly man upstairs on the landing near the upstairs dining room called The Blue Room. It looked like one of the three men I saw on the keeping room stairs. Ive never forgotten that because it was so clear. The stairs always seem to be a focal point of activity. Betty said, You always think your being brushed by something on the stairs. There are times where running into ghostly people is a daily occurrence! But they are friendly spirits, Betty emphasized. I think theyve learned to live with us...
