Some People have said that The Banshee is a place of magic, that it is haunted, others say there is poetry in the air, but what most people believe is that it is a truly a pub like no other.

 Look Around the great bar, well over 50 feet long, the book shelves, the benches, tables all made from wood salvaged from this old building in Scranton all make up a piece of  the history of this place.

Look At The People, there are a lot of interesting stories to be told. Each item on the wall tells a tale, along with a warm handshake or the easy eye of a stranger. These are what make up the feeling of contentment when you enter. The love and the hard work that went into creating The Banshee has resulted in a pub which fosters good relations, good conversation, and a grand ol' time.

So if you see the old man dressed in black sitting in a snug, or a young girl climbing the stairs to the second floor, take ease in your knowledge that you are not alone in your sighting, and know that they mean you no harm. They are only looking to share in the atmosphere of The Banshee, and besides, they were here first!

It was an interesting late night.  We arrived at 2:00am and were greeted by a warm and friendly crew.  This was a co-opp investigation and we set up our equipment and got started.  The night took off in a hurry and just as we began the night I heard something that sounded like a woman's voice in the basement area.  We had several KII hits in the basement but these were deemed unusable although they did seem to have a slight pattern to them.  While on the top floor we did not really capture any activity.  On the main floor (Bar area) we did not capture anything.  However, we did have an interesting personal experience on the second floor above the bar.  While we getting ready to call it a night one of the lights on the ceiling blew out.  What resulted was the ghost meter going off continously for two minutes straight only to shut off abruptly.  The light was located about 15-20 feet from the meter which was located on the floor in the middle of the floor.  This was a very strange experience.  We could not determine what caused the meter to go off as it was there for most of the night and did not go off once prior to the incident.  We also captured some interesting photos but nothing conclusive.

We feel the Banshee has paranormal activity present but the investigation was deemed inconclusive because we need a bit more evidence to determine if it is haunted.  Most of the activity was in the basement area and the second floor.  We are scheduled for a followup investigation in March and are looking forward to finding more answers.
