In this episode, we take you inside Harold’s Haunt, a quirky, spooky-themed they bar in Milvale, PA, with a ghostly backstory that’s as entertaining as it is eerie. Formerly Howard’s Pub, the space was taken over by the owners of Maude’s Paperwing Gallery, transforming it into a haven for all. But the biggest surprise wasn’t the decor—it was the resident spirit, Harold. Harold is an old-fashioned ghost in every sense. He is believed to be a 60-year-old man stuck in a time loop, oblivious to the modern world and its changes. With his outdated (and often offensive) views, Harold’s haunting is anything but subtle. From knocking things over in the basement to sabotaging electronics, he’s become the bar’s resident troublemaker. The bartender even admits Harold can be “annoying,” which adds a humorous twist to the haunting. But Harold isn’t the only spirit lurking in the shadows. The owners believe the ghost of a previous owner is also present, keeping a watchful eye on the place. In one remarkable instance, this benevolent spirit allegedly turned on a light just in time to prevent water from causing serious damage to the bar—a stark contrast to Harold’s disruptive antics. Join us as we explore the fascinating and funny dynamics between these two spirits—one who seems to despise everything about the bar, and another who’s determined to protect it.
