The Story
The Elms' pool has competing ghost stories: one concerns a man from the speakeasy era, another a distraught woman searching for her child. HauntedPlaces.org also describes a young apparition dressed as a maid on the third floor, supposedly inspecting the work of present-day housekeepers. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
