Mason House

About Room 5, she reports, "We know a doctor died in Room 5 in 1940 of diphtheria. He was renting that room when it was a boarding house from 1920s to 1951.

When [the previous owners] were re-wallpapering in Room 5, they would find all the paper stripped off. They would put it back up, only to find it stripped again the next morning. On the third morning they found the wallpaper sample book on the floor and laying open to a certain page. They bought that wallpaper and put it up. The paper stayed in place and is still there.

"A guest in Room 5 said his pajama shirt sleeve was tugged on while he was sleeping. Thinking it was his wife wanting him to turn over, he tried to turn over and his sleeve did not come with him. He looked and he could see his sleeve being tugged over and over but did not see anyone there to tug on it, he remembered that his wife did not come with him on this trip. The sleeve continued to be tugged for several more seconds and then it quit. He hopped out of bed and would not lay down again. He was very shaken by the experience. He is a Minister and did not believe in ghosts. Now he does."
