Heavy footsteps have long been heard upstairs, above this room. In 1871, with Thomas Whaley out of town, an angry mob held wife Anna Whaley at gunpoint on the 9th step of these stairs while the records were removed. Visitors to the house report feeling a chill in the air as they step there. The ghost of Thomas Whaley has been seen on that second floor landing, dressed in a black frock coat and wide-brimmed hat. The archway between the parlor and music room is located when Yankee Jim Robinson was hung in 1852, before the house was built.
People report feeling a constriction in the throat when standing there.
From the music room can be head songs from the turn on the century, and laughter. The smell of a cigar and the fragrance of perfume which quickly vanished have been reported. In the music room is a lamp that must be a favorite of one of the ghosts. Often, one or two of the crystals have been seen swinging, while all the others have remained motionless. Electric lights in the house have been seen to flicker, go on and off by themselves.
