The Ghost Story

The apparition of a young boy has been seen throughout the house, appearing in different rooms and vanishing when approached. Visitors and staff report unexplained footsteps, 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 with paranormal energy.
