The Full Story

The ghost of a young boy has been seen throughout the house, appearing in different rooms and vanishing when approached. Visitors and staff report footsteps with no source, doors opening and closing on their own, and objects moving from where they were placed. The Underground Railroad tunnels beneath the house are said to be especially active.
