According to locals, the original inn that stood here burned down on Halloween of 1909. And in 1949, resident Wilhelmina Kaske passed away in a front bedroom, and these incidents may have led to the house’s hauntings. Witnesses have reported a figure leaning out of the barn window, a presence in the bedroom, cold spots, footsteps, and crashing sounds, and one worker was suddenly doused with paint when he was trying to paint over the hallway wallpaper.

This location no longer allows “ghost hunts”, choosing to focus on their history instead of the paranormal stories surrounding the property. It’s a shame because they could raise a lot of money for their foundation by charging for investigations.
