Two ghosts can be seen in this old wooden-framed house, which dates back to 1862. The first is an elderly that walks around the house crying. She is believed to be the late August Helms, who witnessed many murders and suicides in the Helms family before her eventual death in the late 1800’s. The second is that of a little girl, who sits at the bottom of the staircase and weeps. She died of smallpox in 1868 and was buried nearby, but she still refuses to part with the house.
