THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Griggs Mansion is associated with reports of apparitions, mysterious footsteps, and unexplained activity believed to involve former residents of the historic home.
The 1883 Griggs Mansion was turned into apartments, and then an art school in 1939. It has many ghosts, including a maid who hanged herself on the fourth floor landing in 1915; gardener Charles Wade, who has been heard flipping through books in the library; a thin man in a black suit and top hat; a child who has been seen floating above a bed; and a teenage girl named Amy. Besides apparitions, many other phenomena have been reported here, such as doors and windows opening by themselves, footsteps, coughs and shattering light bulbs.
