On the outskirts of the little town of Linwood in Carroll county, a long-ago murder continues to impact the house. Though the events leading to this haunting happened many years ago, the energies continue to be felt in the home.

At some point in time, the house was owned by the Shriner famly and they well have been the ones who built the house originallly in 1804. In later years, one son began dating a young woman who had previously been involved with his brother, leading the spurned lover to take matters into his own hands. Sitting on one of the steps of the front staircase in the house, he angled his weapon through the railing and shot his brother as he sat at the dining room table. For years afterward, the blood-stained floor in the dining room remained as a testament to the murder.

The current owners, who have been in the house for more than a quarter-century, have lots of stories to relate dealings with manifestations in the house. Soon after they moved in, they converted the front parlor into a bedroom for an elderly relative who was teminally ill. Several mornings in a row, the patient mentioned having visitors in her room the night before, wanting to know who they were. She described one of them, who appeared to her several times, as being dress in navy pants and a long dress coat. Years later, a woman hired to clean the house paused upon entering the room and asked the owner pointedly, "Is this house haunted?" When the owner admitted that they believed it was, she asked further, "Is it  this room?" and proceeded to describe the same man that had been detected years ealier by the elderly aunt.

To this day, electronic devices in the room seem to take on a life of their own and the family pets avoid the room, which is located directly in front of the dining room where the murder took place.
