Name	Description
Abram's Delight	Several ghosts of the Hollingsworth family (the family that built & owned the house for several generations) haunt the home and grounds. Mary Hollingsworth is the most frequent visitor.

Fort Colier Battle Field	The cries and ghostly figures of those wounded haunt the battle fields once every year. When ghostly figures appear each year is unknown--it is always different!
Orchardcrest Apartments	Late at night, or early morning hours, odd things will occur, such as lights flickering on and off, TV's coming on and off, doors slamming when everyone is asleep.
