The Story
The former Jesse Lee Home in Seward is associated with stories of children laughing, running and playing when no children are visible. Paranormal directories attach a dramatic earthquake-death explanation, but this research has not verified it and does not repeat it as history. Local news instead establishes that the home was damaged in 1964 and remained unused before demolition began in November 2020. This is therefore a historical-site profile.
