Spooky House of Music

A blast from the past, but a place that never gets old......

It all began as a family home for your typical farmers many years ago. Now, a creepy old farmhouse sits on large piece of farmland with busted out windows and long list to it's history. The history of the land goes back much further according to evidence found. Currently it is used as a commercial haunted attraction, but still has the true makings for paranormal activity due to the past. Pitch black....sitting upstairs.....dead silence...when suddenly across the floor downstairs......"clump, clump, clump." The lingering sounds of footsteps haunt this house. The most famous legend is the one of a man they call "The Fiddler." At the point that the fiddlers story begins, the house had now become a boarding house. Sadly, he had a bit of misfortune at this house, first by breaking down and having to stay in the home for a long spell. He had a little room upstairs for which he slept at night, but other times he would come downstairs to be the entertainment by playing his fiddle for others. One night, due to unforeseen circumstances, the fiddler took his last breath upstairs in bed. The worst part of it all is that he was a very large man, so this made it almost impossible to get him out of the small farmhouse. Well, carrying him down the teeny tiny staircase was not an option. The only option anyone could offer was to bring in a crane and lift him through the windows upstairs, only the window wasn't big enough, so they had to cut it open larger. So it has been said that one of the spirits that still roams the house is the fiddler. Listen closely and you might still hear him playing for you. This land has many more stories to tell. Tall stalks of corn swaying in the nightly breeze, crisp, crackling sounds, or is it the sounds of the farmer following you on your journey? Some believe that a farmer is still tending to his land out there near the cornfields, possibly wearing his overalls and keeping his work tools close to him. Although his story is unknown, the mystery remains to know if he died some tragic death or just refuses to leave his fields which he cared for daily. If you wander out in the corn alone, you might find yourself having company. He likes to whistle while he works, so don't be surprised if you hear some whistling behind you as you walk.
Way before it was farmland, there is also tales of the Indians passing through this area. Artifacts have been retrieved from digging on the land that suggests this is definitely a fact. Whispering in the winds of a clear, crisp night, you can still hear the sounds of the Native Americans chanting and dancing around the fire. Clouds of smoke have appeared on the road and it wasn't the dust of the dirt road. At night, the dark shadows dart in between the trees, maybe they are keeping a watchful eye to see what dangers they don't want to see.
Although people might think this place is just a commercial attraction, where things can be set up, but the truth is we have done numerous research on this location and we have checked every possible explanation to try to debunk the evidence caught. The stories above contain evidence that we have actually caught when we were there. Even when we don't have a single personal experience, we can come home to reveal numerous unexplained EVP. Things have been thrown at us out of an empty room that was double checked and checked again after the occurrence. A sing song voice and a piano key have been picked up on recording from inside the house.
The most irrefutable piece of evidence thus far would be one that happened earlier this year inside the house. Only five investigators were inside the house this particular night. After spending quite some time trying to capture EVP, we were getting a little frustrated over nothing happening. We desperately kept asking questions to get a response, when suddenly, I saw something move in a doorway. Someone had got the feeling that a man had faced a terrible tragedy in the house. We later discovered when playing back recordings that on two recorders, a voice was captured that was not one of ours. The most impressive thing would be the fact that the two recorders were sitting in two different locations. The one closest to the doorway where the shadow was seen darting, the EVP captured is louder and clearer than the recorder sitting closer to the investigators.

Spooky sounds heard in the dark of night make this the most enjoyable haunted location.
