Haunted Hotel Edison - Ghosts of Sunbury PA & the Peanut Baby Grave

Episode 43: In this week's episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we travel to Sunbury, Pennsylvania to investigate the haunted Hotel Edison—the very site where Thomas Edison first demonstrated his revolutionary three-wire lighting system. But that's just the beginning. This historic hotel survived a devastating fire and has been the final stop for several souls. Locals say it's haunted, and we're here to find out why. We dive into ghost stories tied to the building and explore Edison's fascination with the afterlife, including his strange ambition to build a "Spirit Phone"—a device he hoped could contact the dead. It might sound like science fiction, but old issues of Popular Mechanics suggest otherwise... While in Sunbury, we also dig into some local legends and strange graves, including: The mysterious Peanut Baby (George W. Metzgar) Civil War Drummer Boy John Boulton Young, better known as "Boultie" And of course—it wouldn't be a Slice trip without a stop for local Pennsylvania pizza. 🔦 Paranormal investigation meets strange history, ghost stories, and small-town mysteries.
