George and Georgia Lamb moved to Arcadia shortly after the 1905 Thanksgiving day fire. Mr. Lamb built the house in 1908
and ran his lumber mill office right out of one of the downstairs rooms.
8 of their 13 children were born in the home
and 1 bathroom served 9 people.
The house remained unfinished until 1940, when Georgia rented out rooms to the wives
of flying cadets, in training, at Carlstrom and Dorr fields.
The Bailey family moved in 2 months before hurricane Charley and had damage from the following hurricane Jeanne, in
the ceiling and walls upstairs.
- 3 separate visits
- Scott, Sprout and Toni

When they took insurance photos after the hurricane they had many with mist and shadows in them.

The oldest son (19yrs) has heard the sound of footsteps.
*
The youngest son (6yrs) met a couple of imaginary friends and a few were not nice. The sons personality changed for the
worse also. This continued until a Christian Shaman came to bless the home. She laid her hands on the child and the
Mom caught him as he went limp. The Mom felt something release in the child and shoot through her causing her
chest pain that exited out her back.
*
A psychomantium was said to once exist in the upstairs bedroom that was once used as a nursery. A psychomantium is
also called mirror gazing. It's a specially designed mirrored room, specially set up to communicate with the
spiritual realm. The owners daughter had also been accidently locked in this room and there was no reason she
couldn't get the door open. When she was let out the door opened just fine.
*
A neighbor had said that on a past visit to the home before the present owners had lived there, he had a
frightening experience and will not set foot in the home again. He said that he was walking up the staircase and was
grabbed by the ankle and held. When he was released he saw a partial apparition of a childs leg, sock and shoe. It
turned and went back up the stairs.
*
The youngest son has refused to sleep in his room. He claim that there are hundreds of Spirits coming out
of his closet. He claims that the most common Spirits to visit are past owners of the home and a little girl
named Eva. He also claims to have very bad nightmares which consist of Vampire demon dogs with no skin.

The owner Dawn has seen a tall dark figure of a man.
*
Dawn had been by herself in the foyer and heard her youngest sons bedroom
door slam repeatedly.
*
Hearing doors being slammed, has happened more than once.
*
Dawn and her son were sitting in the living room and saw a dark shadow move back and forth
across the doorway in the hall.
Right after that they heard silverware being moved in the kitchen.
*
Dawn woke up with a hand print on her thigh which disappeared about 4 hours later when she returned from church.
*
Dawn has been thumped on the forehead while sitting down.
*
Dawn has heard voices and sometimes she can make them out. They seem to be giving a warning.
*
Light bulbs have been known to unscrew themselves.

About 2 weeks after our last visit, we received a phone call from the owner Bill. Bill had not experienced
anything in the home until this evening. He said the family was up late watching TV and about 1:30am they all heard
a loud crash come from upstairs. Bill went to investigate and first found a wicker basket placed in the middle of
the staircase. In the bathroom he found that their antique window they had on display on a shelf had fell down and
was propped up against the toilet. How it got in this position and not breaking is still a mystery.
About an hour later Bill took the dogs out back for a potty break and when he came back in the family room he found
2 family portraits propped up on the couch. He went and told his wife Dawn and when she turned on the hall light
they found 5 more family portraits down. One in the kitchen, two on the hall floor and 2 on the hallway church pew.
All of these photos where propped up.
