Submitted by anonymous Minter Mansion encounter. In the summer of 1970, I was employed with my buddy in remodeling the William A. Minter Mansion into an architect's office. Once we had moved sufficient tools & supplies, hardward, etc. into the mansion, our employee asked my friend and I to sleep in the south bedroom upstairs to monitor any vandals or tennagers taking a unauthorized ''tour'' through the mansion. Things were very quiet until 3:30 am, when the heavy wood solid door on the north bedroom (which had settled deeply into the floorboards over many decades in the abandoned mansion) suddenly slammed shut, ripping the top half inch off the floorboards. This made an enormous sound, waking us both up. We made a quick flashlight inspection. Upon sighting the horrendously damaged floorboards, we left immideately & refused to ever sleep there again. There       were other incidents regarding the upstairs attic/bedroom which were too disturbing to discuss even today, 38 years later. Submitted by R.M.R Ft. Phantom witch sighting. In the summer of 1969, I was heading to my friend's lake cabin around 1:00 a.m. I had driven counterclockwise almost 3/4 of the way around the lake when I passed a young   lady in dark clothing walking alongside a large field on the right hand side of the road. It was late; I was concerned for her safety. So I turned my vehicle around immediately and there was no young lady anywhere in sight. On either side of the road was flat land; no trees nor brush. I am certain this was an apparition.
