The ghost’s name is Peg Leg-some call him Hoppy. He has a gold ring in his left earlobe and is dressed in soilder’s clothes. Word is, he was forced to serve in the service after he was caught for piracy on a vessel headed for the southern tip of florida. He was happy serving as a soilder, as he did not die from scurvey. The ship’s name was The Marietta that he was captured on. It was a smaller vessel with 13 other pirates on board. He surrendered when the battle was being lost from the US war vessel- the others died under thier oath to thier Captain. Basically he was a traitor to his fellow pirates. He lost his leg due to battle, and eventually died from infection at the hospital from gang green that set in his amputated leg. A peg is in place where his leg used to be. Some say you can hear the faint tapping of his peg leg in this place around sun set.

This is my cousin’s paternal grandmother’s house. She was not directly related to myself. The house is amazing! The upstairs was the hospital area and still has blood stains on the floor. Spending the night there was a little scary. I think Mrs. Nicholson was trying to scare us. I didn’t spend enough time there to “see” anything but there are bones under the house.

I visited this house when I was a kid living in LA. I did see the blood stains on the wooden floor of the upstairs attic. I also remember being in a front bedroom with my dad and we both felt a cold chill drift by. It was a pretty creepy place.

If he was amputated, why would he still be nice? I wouldn’t be if someone cut off my leg!

Sara says:

That is very creepy. Why would someone cut off another persons leg? That is crazy!! I would be out of that place in 1 second if I knew it was haunted, but now I do know! Why can’t he just ignore people when they come to explore his house? That would be freaky if some stupid kids walked up to his house and started throwing rocks!! He would probably come out of his house quietly and snatch them.

I just moved to the area and am interested in finding out more about this house. Where is it and is it privately owned? And like Josh asked, how do I get there? Who do I need to talk to in order to take some pictures around the house?
