Many spirits are said to walk the halls of the three stories available for investigation: native spirits in the basement, a little girl who loves to play and show herself to shocked visitors, and a man in a suit who searches out females in the building to help fill his lonely hours. ​

Staff have often felt unnerved, and the caretaker who sometimes stays the night after a long day of events will awaken in the night to hear talking, laughter and footsteps

Unfortunately, what we DIDN'T get to see were the two ghosts alleged to roam the third floor of the building! According to A Guide to Haunted West Virginia (Gavenda and Shoemaker), a man in a straw hat, along with a larger lady with a fondness for the color scarlet, are both seen on this floor. Are they former residents or employees of the building itself...or are they somehow attached to one of the many artifacts located in the building?
