The tunnels are the claimed — the basement passages that the guests report, the UGRR that the legend says. The soldier is the waver — the Civil War ghost at the window, the conversation that one guest had. The reopening is the psychic — the '25 Halloween party with the channeling, the inn that never quite closed. Rider's Inn is the oldest — the 1812 tavern that's still the inn, the Suzanne who's the keeper.
