I have been able to see spirits since I was 6 years old. When I was in the 6th grade we took a school trip here and I got real uneasy feeling and while all the students went upstairs out in the barn. I did not go. And while I was standing there an axe fell of the wall with a quick glance I seen a man that looked like a field worker standing there at the bottom of the stairs then he disappeared just as the other students were coming back down. I never mentioned it to anyone till years later
