One of the workers there claimed to have been leaning over the fireplace and felt as if a hand touched her on her shoulder. When she turned around there was no one there. That was the first day they noticed the initials. Another visitor reported being drawn to the stairs every time she entered the home. She succumbed to her feelings one day and traveled up the stairs to find a noose hanging from the top of the stairwell. People have claimed to feel uneasy and dizzy upon entering the threshold of the home. Security guards claimed to have heard voices in the home and decided to check it out having the door lock behind him and him jumping out of the window out of fear rather than wait for help to come.
