The Story

Investigators at the Best family home report distant voices, shadowy figures and a piano playing without an apparent player. Some recordings are attributed to Leonard, Dr. Christopher Best's six-year-old son, who died after an illness. The Trail links other perceived presences with family members who died in the house, where their furniture and medical equipment remain.
