  1. Me and a friend stayed there one night for a haunted picnic and had a seance. During his seance and of asking the spirits questions, the video on his phone stopped working and it said “home cannot be located” I have never seen a phone say that nor did his phone have any reason to stop working. It was a cool place but not really creepy. Anyway, we decided to leave after the candles mysteriously went out for no reason. YIKES! lol
    PS… We also got to scare some kids before we left LMAO

  2. My grandma was there with a friend and as they sat out the window and feet in the seat her friend got pulled out be the Wich Esme and broke both her legs.
