0:00.0 | Here at Estonishing Legends, our show is rooted in many types of stories, but one of the anchors |
0:07.2 | of our ever-expanding archive of shows would have to be hauntings. |
0:11.3 | In the paranormal world, the term haunting has come to encompass many things, from polter |

1:24.1 | and changes, the story at the root of it sometimes gets lost. |
1:28.8 | But, as we like to say, invariably, something happened that made this story into a legend. |
1:37.0 | In this case, it was a haunting that while possibly active for almost a century prior, |
