The Story
Beechwood's ballroom is associated with sudden cold patches and a woman in a yellow evening dress. Another reported figure wears a maid's uniform. The broader tradition includes footsteps, voices, doors moving on their own and candles going out, creating a picture of a household whose old social routines have not quite ended.
