There hasn’t been confirmed activity in the house except for a few stories from when the house sat on it’s
original property. A neighbor living at the Montrose apartments, claimed to see lights on and hear old music
playing. During this time the house had been abandoned for many years with no power to it. It is possible that
teens or homeless people could have taken up residence in the home.

Members of the historical society who have worked on the home, claim to have had psychic communication with 2
spirits named Alexander and Elladora. Elladora appears to be wearing a black dress and Alexander appears to be
wearing a gray waistcoat with tails. They seem to be attached to the house and can’t leave the property. Alexander
said “he wanted to go on the porch but it was new and he needed a bridge to the new, so old boards were nailed
underneath so he may now enjoy a stay on the porch. Both Spirits are pleased with the restoration of the house.
