The Story
A Penn State newspaper-project recollection describes a heavy sound upstairs that a guide attributed to resident ghost Sylvester Clemson Clinton Baker. A separate mansion legend concerns a wedding dress that seems to move in its case. The dress's attribution to Anna Baker is disputed and should not be presented as established history.
