The Ghost Story
The spirits of the seven people murdered by Julian Carlton in the 1914 massacre are said to linger at Taliesin. Carlton axed Mamah Borthwick and her children during lunch, then killed four more before setting the building ablaze. Wright rebuilt Taliesin, but visitors and staff have reported unexplained sounds, cold spots, and an overwhelming sense of sadness in certain rooms.
