"This 17th-century mansion, immortalized by a famous novelist, blends literary history with ghostly lore: visitors and tour guides recount sightings of a man using a secret staircase, a child playing in the attic, and the presence of a long-deceased relative linked to the family. Daytime tours typically emphasize the building’s historical and literary significance, while evening and city ghost tours highlight its supernatural stories for those seeking a spookier perspective." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
