The Story
HauntedPlaces.org recounts staff stories of Harry Truman appearing in the living room and along the sidewalks outside his Independence home. Another reported sign is the smell of brandy without an apparent source. These stories concern the home itself, not the separate presidential library. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
