Perhaps, you will be one of those who have witnessed one of the many ghosts dressed in early period clothing who still traverse the property... |
While there yet remains much to be discovered concerning this location of spirit activity, today - when one walks the grounds of this very historic site on dark or moonlit nights, the shadows seem to reach for you. The sudden rustle of leaves from the properties very old historic trees makes your heart jump! Your heart beats faster and faster and you think it's your imagination; but, is it really? Some believe that it is simply the ghosts of this very old and historic site, still watching over it to preserve its integrity - just as they doubtless once did in life, even now... in the hereafter...
This tour is presented in the mid afternoon on any day throughout the year and can be taken as a stand alone tour, or as part of a day and night tour package combining one of our many lantern-lit tours throughout the region.
