It's the fact that the Historic Hannah House is completely run by volunteers whose sole purpose is the preservation of this historic landmark, as well as being truly haunted! Local legend as well as verifiable history says that when the house was built in 1858, it was utilized as a passage for the Underground Railroad. One fateful evening a small group of slaves, secretly traveling northward searching for freedom, came to the Hannah House seeking solace. They were welcomed, given food to eat, and water to drink. They felt for one moment they could rest before continuing on their incredible journey. Nestled in the straw which covered the floor of the basement, and by the light of a single oil lantern they dreamed of freedom, and the opportunities that tomorrow would bring. They finally felt safe. However they did not know that tomorrow would never come. Tragedy struck that night. While they were sleeping the oil lantern was accidentally turned over. Its oil soaked the hay covered floor and the flames ignited. While some of the courageous men, women, and children burned while they slept, others were killed from the smoke inhalation. I believe that if any had awoken during the accident they would have chosen to die as opposed to returning to the life that slavery offered. The next morning when the owner of the house had discovered what happened, and fearing retribution for assisting the Underground Railroad, he buried their bodies in the basement. By doing so he hid the secret, not only to his participation, but to the identities of these courageous people. Some people believe that when those bodies were hidden, it forever sealed their souls to the house. These poor lost souls still wandering and searching for freedom. Are you brave enough to venture on the grounds? Are you brave enough to face the spirits of these lost souls? Are you brave enough for the Historic Hannah House? So come out, bring your friends, and visit us for one of our Hannah House Experience overnight investigations. Let us see if you are brave enough for The Historic Hannah House.
