Downingtown Area Paranormal Investigators

	THE LOG HOUSE The Log House was built around 1705 by John Hickman. It passed to the Moore and Downing families. Thomas Downing left it to the Borough in 1947. In 1990 the Historical Society restored and relocated the structure to preserve it. DAPI encountered several entities in this location, including an old man who values his privacy, and a woman at the fireplace. You’ll never look at the upstairs windows again without wondering who is looking back at you.
The Opera House It was built in 1906. It has served as a live theater and movie house over the years. It was recently restored as a theater.
	Alert 1 and Minquas Fire Companies Downingtown has two firehouses, Alert 1 and Minquas. Alert Fire Company No. 1 was formed in 1887, and Minquas Fire Company was organized in 1907. The current location of Alert 1 is the third headquarters of the company, with the groundbreaking in September of 1940. The Minquas Company is in a new station that is located on the same property as the original firehouse. Both firehouses have stories of unexplained noises and happenings, and rumors of old members who have not let a little thing like death stop them from performing their duties.
Downingtown Library The Downingtown Library was founded in 1876. The current building was once the Home of a prominent local doctor. There are many ghost stories associated with the library. In the back room, books have been known to fly off the shelves. Who watches the street from the attic? Who stands at a window that no longer exists? Do ghostly pets romp through the building? Who is lurking in the basement?
	Thomas Moore House The Thomas Moore house was built in 1720 as a personal residence, and is believed to be the second oldest surviving house in town. It was converted to an inn or “Tea House” prior to the Revolutionary War. During the Civil War, it was a stop on the Underground Railroad, with a hiding room for slaves on the third floor and a secret tunnel that connected it to the library building. Are the mysterious noises a sign that some of the former residents refuse to leave?
