The 1800s Leland Stanford Mansion is 19,000 square feet in four stories, and was fully restored in 2005. It is a state park and a venue for upscale legislative functions. It is said to be haunted by Leland Stanford’s 15-year-old son, Leland Stanford Jr., who died of typhoid fever while studying in Italy. The teen’s ghost appeared to his father and asked him to build a university for men; hence Stanford University’s founding in 1891.

I Doubt if it is Haunted on the Fact That the Son died in Italy. Spirits don’t travel across the Globe. An anybody that believes they do is not to intelligent.
If you think this place is not haunted, then why won´t you prove it. Sometimes a spirit connects to what its close to it and sometimes wishes to stay behind to visit the overworld or travels to the spirit world.
