On one tragic night, a group of slaves, cramped into a dark dirt-floored cellar, sit waiting for the right time to leave their hiding spot in the Hannah House, and head for the freedom of Canada.  One of them unknowingly tips over an oil lamp, instantly igniting a fire that traps them there; many to be killed by smoke inhalation and burns within only a few minutes.  The dead are buried in the very cellar that claimed their lives, in an attempt to cover up any trace of this incident as quickly as possible....... This story is not only true, it happened in this very house.  And ever since then, the cellar of the Hannah House has been a known area for paranormal activity.  Spectral slaves have been witnessed by several people, hiding in the shadows, moans and voices have been heard, and cold spots have been felt.  It seems that some of the slaves killed on that night may have stayed around, still hiding in the safety of the basement that protected them in life. Also, the apparition of what many think is Hannah himself has been seen on several areas of the property, including the upstairs, as well as the balcony.  An older woman has also been reported upstairs, in and around a particular room.  Whispering voices have been thought to be heard, and a chandelier was filmed swinging by a news film team on one particular occasion.   Do the former occupants of the Italianate-style mansion still watch over the place they called their home?  Many who have stepped through its doors will tell you so, and with all the history that lies within the walls of this structure, it would be no surprise.
