About 10 years ago my daughter and I visited fort Abercrombie. We went into one of the tower houses, it was dim inside but still in the middle of the day. We walked in and the door which I believe had a spring on it closed behind us. As we were going upstairs we heard an unearthly scream, not human, not animal. I have never heard anything like that scream and have never since. We looked at each other headed for the door and ran to our car about a block away. We never really spoke of it as we didn’t want people to think we were crazy. It was so scary and I haven’t been back since.
