The Story

US Ghost Adventures attributes window apparitions and shadow figures inside the Hunter Museum to a woman its account calls Augusta Hoffman. It also reports a sour, unexplained odor. The tour story links her to a death at a neighboring Bluff View property, rather than claiming she died in the museum mansion itself.

The Hauntings

US Ghost Adventures attributes window apparitions and shadow figures inside the Hunter Museum to a woman its account calls Augusta Hoffman. It also reports a sour, unexplained odor. The tour story links her to a death at a neighboring Bluff View property, rather than claiming she died in the museum mansion itself. Tour source inconsistently spells the person’s name August/Augusta; historical identity and details need further verification before expanding the biography.
