His mother and one they call "the snoring ghost". He likes to pull the blankets back on the bed and evidently you can hear him snoring.
The Library	The Library still has the original first edition books that were brought over, including those from Thomas Hughes himself. They say that the curator is still there overlooking his books and his dog is still trying to get out the door at night.
The Town	A carriage will drive through the town. The Episcopal Church is in the tour, and they still hold service there on Sundays. Kingstone Lisle is also in the tour. In the buildings on the tour you can take pictures but cannot use flash when you do. Also, unfortunately, you cannot touch any of the books in the library. All of the buildings are beautiful and there are a couple of cemeteries included in the tour. For more information on the tours go to www.historicrugby.org
