The Story

HauntedPlaces.org names three recurring apparitions at Proprietary House: a soldier from the Revolutionary period, a woman at a dining-room window and a boy dressed in blue. In one story, the boy admits a delivery worker and guides him upstairs, only later being understood as an unexplained presence. The apparition identities are folklore; current tour hours require checking.
