Good value if you enjoy historic homes

The Whaley House was a good lesson in history for the area. As far as experiencing paranormal activity, when I sat in the first room and the guide started talking, I had full body chills for a few minutes, my lip continued to quiver for several hours. In the main bedroom I was drawn in by a mirror angled perfectly so you see a reflection of a picture hanging, it was a bit puzzling. The home is furnished with beautiful antiques. I was looking at my pictures after and seem to have a dark orb from that room, or is it?
Highly recommend!

Great guide! Gave us all the details and had an answer to every question. I went mid-morning and the house was empty aside from one other guest, great experience.
Apenas um pequeno museu.

É interessante, mas não passa de um pequeno museu.
Se vc espera ouvir sobre as aparições de fantasmas, vai se decepcionar.
