The Story
Prairie Public records the Gray Lady as a kindly presence connected with Bertha Dordal, a pastor’s wife and organist. Residents described an unseen hand laying a blanket over a sleeping guest, a pump handle working itself, windows opening and closing, and organ music after the instrument was gone.
