The Haunting

Reportedly a former almshouse, this building was purchased for use as a haunted attraction. It was reportedly haunted by many ghosts, including Elva SKinner, a woman who died in a fire in the former almshouse. The house has been featured in several books and TV shows including Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures. In 2013, the site was said to have suffered a violent windstorm and was damaged extensively, but reports are now that the home has been purchased by a new family and renovations have been undertaken.

People mention many ghosts, especially Elva Skinner, and the building's TV/book appearances. Historical discussion centers on almshouse and care-facility use, so the ghost story should sit inside that institutional context.
