Van Alstyne House

The 1891 ‘Gingerbread House’ housed an antiques store for many years, until the owners left due to the overwhelming paranormal activity. Reports ranged from tables being flipped over by unseen hands to a foreign voice that told a visitor that he would die if he didn’t leave right away.
