My family and I have lived in this old house in the middle of Carterville since 1993 when I was born. Supposedly, the house was built in 1907 for the first town doctor. However, he died almost as soon as he moved in. Now, considering the time frame, you have to realize, the examination and waiting rooms made up the downstairs and are now converted into a living room and office. All rooms including kitchen and basement were originally accessible from a

central doorway. For thirty or fifty years the house was reserved for the practicing physician. That back story now explains why we affectionately nicknamed

our ghost, Doc. Who knows who he really is, if anything more than a series of unexplainable phenomena? Nothing scary or definitive has ever happened really. Just things like creaky stairs or flickering lights, or it seems like if anyone is up too late, things will unexplainably fall off tables and shelves.
None of the doors in the house latch correctly, so they are either wedged shut or locked with a swing lock, and they will open like someone has pushed them,
