A famous ghost story around these parts, the Sultan’s Ghost is the tale of a grisly mass murder, and it took place in this 1836 house. A Turkish renter in the 1870s was rumored to keep a harem here, which he created by kidnapping women and torturing them into submission. As legend has it, a passerby one day noticed that blood was seeping from the building. It was found that the entire household had been violently killed – the man himself had been buried alive out back. The murderer has never been found. Apparitions are said to roam the halls; witnesses have reported hearing screams as well.
