The story

Prospect Place was built in 1856 near Trinway, Ohio, the 29-room Italianate mansion of George Willison Adams, miller and committed abolitionist, and its cellars sheltered freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad — a documented heritage that leads any telling of the house, honouring those who risked the journey and those who helped. The mansion stayed in and returned to the family line, and a descendant's trust now preserves it, funding restoration with history tours, events and the overnight paranormal investigations that television — Ghost Adventures among others — made famous. The lore is layered: a girl said in telling to have died in a fall, glimpsed in the ballroom; a woman in the upstairs rooms; voices and footsteps in the cellars, told with respect for their history; and the barn's darker legend of a bounty hunter's rough justice — folklore, unproven, and framed as such. Visitors and investigators report figures, voices, touches and lights. Present the house history-first, the legends hedged, and access as tour-based via the trust, with details from its official pages.
