The Story
Ghost City Tours recounts moans, scratching and phantom footsteps associated with the house, alongside an oppressive feeling reported by passersby. Its research distinguishes these ghost traditions from extravagant torture stories added in later retellings. The real suffering of enslaved people is essential context and should not be replaced by sensational inventions.
