The Story

After William Casey died in 1978, visitors to the carriage house he transformed into a medieval-style cottage began reporting faint organ music, cries for help and moving furniture. Other accounts describe candles falling from shelves, keys reappearing in odd places and a young girl near a tree. The alleged burial associated with that apparition remains part of the story.
