"The Lady in Blue, The Children's Ghost" - In this historical house, before the Revolution, there were thirty-two children born to one mother and father, eleven single births and the others in twins and triplets. It is said a beautiful lady, with long flowing hair that reached below her waist, wearing a soft blue gown that touched the floor, had been seen to come to this stairway when little children played on it. She is known as the lady in blue or the fairy godmother of little boys and girls.
