Chestnut House is an 1884 Victorian Gothic house that is believed to be haunted by former tenants named the Finches, a mother and her son who occupied the home for 70 years. Both apparitions have been seen; the mother in a mourning dress and the son in a bow tie. Subsequent tenants have reported that their dog often would jump up into a certain chair and lie happily as if being petted by someone invisible.
