    i was frequently invited to cocktail parties here in the late nineties, and went in hopes of seeing the ghosts, but never did see any. the author of the book and her husband were wonderful people however and the parties were great.

    Stayed here several times with friends. The top floor already felt eerie. Great house with some spooky history. The family and owners are true believers

    I sell tickets for paranormal investigations here now. The house is very active. The son of June is trying to restore it and the gardens. I posted an evp from inside recently on my YouTube channel @kindredspiritstours
