Perkins Maintenance Manager 51223-5168 For months afterwards no local person would enter the house and it acquired the reputation of being “haunted”, particularly among the young boys who reported strange sights and sounds coming from the dwelling. Spook Story According to William Harrison, one of those boys, there was a tall chimney constructed of rough stone at one end of the structure. Some of them died, the survivors then travelling northward. V The chimney crashed to the ground one night. Naturally the local lads thought this was the work of the "spooks" which inhabited the struc- ture.

Terror Figure It was a gigantic figure of a man enveloped in a dirty white sheet with a high peaked hat of the same color. Krdund its neck was a dark tie by which it seemed suspended from above, its feet barely touching the floor. 7 He discovered he was the first victim of a childish prank, the youngsters of the neighborhood having constructed the “ghost” that day. Its cadaverbus face léoked directly at the terrified boy. Finally he ov'ercame his terror and entered the barn to investigate. Bot-h house and barn were demolished in the 1850’s.
