The Story
The mansion’s reputed cook, Molly, is remembered through smells as much as apparitions. HauntedPlaces.org describes unexplained aromas of muffins, pork, and black-eyed peas, plus a burning-potato smell reportedly strong enough to summon firefighters. Other accounts mention cigar smoke and bed linens thrown aside, as though an unseen household still occupies the building.
