My wife and our son stayed at the Riders Inn, we didn’t get any proof of the afterlife what so ever. I must mention that we were the only guest in the Inn for that night. I stayed up most of the night and took hours of video and hundreds of pics which produced nothing.

I have just came back from the Riders Inn this afternoon from my uncle’s wedding reception. When i was in the bathroom alone, I heard someone using the bathroom in the other bathroom since there’s only 2. Then my door flew open (even though it was locked). And when I was taking my 2 yr old cousin to the little room i sat down and there was a hand on my shoulder… And I had my cousin in my hands cradling her. And i turned my head to see and it was a hand figure and right beside it was like a big knit monkey in the chair looking at me. I have seen some blue and orange orbits. Otherwise Riders Inn is a very old place and the staff tell history all the timeabout Mr.Rider and Rider’s Inn

Go to http://www.ridersinn.com or http://www.ridersinn.com/talefuldinners.html
Jason will be speaking on the paranormal at Rider’s Inn each Friday in October. Dinner and the speaking is $29. This should be fun.
Do I beleive in it all? No -perhaps I will change my mind after hearing the speaker and talking to others. Regardless, legends and tales and mysteries are facinating just the same. I will be at one of the dinners on October 9.
Painsville does have it’s history and legends. Have you heard of Stephanie of Lake Erie College from the 1800s? As the story goes, In the early years of this previously “all girls” college Stephanie hung herself in the bell tower of Lake Erie College. The bell still tolls today…….and Stephanie’s screem still haunts Lake Erie College Hall which used to be the girl’s dormitory. The 4th floor is now locked and no admission is allowed. The rumor is that Stephanie was expecting which was a terrible shame in years gone by.
Have you heard of the old Steele Mansion in Painesville. I talked to the former mansion caretaker. She said Steele mansion has 4 ghosts including an older man, 2 children, and one of the female chefs. All of these old mansions had servants at one time. The story goes that Horace Steele owned a bank in Painesville. Self inflicted fate eventually caught up to him as he was caught embezeling money from the bank. You want to see a Haunted House? Steele mansion fits the profile….be careful though…it is private property. Hopefully one day it will be restored….Save the Mansion! I am told that professional roofers accidentily set it on fire as they were trying to melt the heavy gigantic icecles from the roof with a blow torch.
All these sites are along the historical strip of Mentor Avenue in Painesville.
Hey – Give Elaine Crane a break. She has restored and preserved a fine historical establishment. Many people receive pleasure enjoying the history and legends as well.

My maternal grandmother was born and raised in Rider’s Tavern or Inn which her ancestor Joseph Rider built around 1810. The stories of ghosts and it’s being a part of the underground railroad are all fiction designed to hype business. No one ever heard such stories before recently.

I know that the inn is haunted. You can just feel it when you walk in. It is one of my favorite places to go. I stayed 1 night nothing happened but you can just feel someone watching over you. And really dave and steve if you can not say anything nice don’t say anything at all. Elaine is a lovely woman. She is like family to my husband and I. Be nice!!!!
