This late nineteenth century property is haunted by several eerie apparitions. Ghostly balls of light can be seen drifting through the hallways and rooms of the house, or from outside in the garden. Disembodied voices and footsteps can be heard late at night when there is no one around. You get the feeling you’re not alone when there’s no one around, and spectral figures are seen in some rooms of the house. The ghost of a barking dog can be seen and heard at the house, as well as the spirit of a neighbour who vanishes when approached, a faceless man who peers into the house through the living room windows and the ghost of a headless man who was killed by a falling tree. The house is now owned by a relative’s company specializing in insulation services, so the house is currently in a state of disuse.
