The Story
At the Jemison–Van de Graaff Mansion, visitors tell of cold patches and an unseen presence. Other accounts describe a girl near the grand staircase, heavy footsteps, music and a crash like falling china from an empty room. A particularly dramatic story concerns a mirror apparently thrown across an upstairs room while a bride prepared for her wedding.
