The Story

Scotia Inn, now Scotia Lodge, has a long-running tradition of a friendly presence called Frank. HauntBound recounts upper-hallway footsteps and voices, including a playful story about a basketball receiving an unexpected return bounce. Separate accounts describe a mother and child and a crying baby. Those backstories are anonymous property folklore rather than independently confirmed incidents. A single secondary directory remains the principal detailed story source unless additional story evidence is listed. No paranormal claims are independently proven.
