McPike Mansion is considered the most haunted place in America’s most haunted town. They say people get touched, doors open on their own, apparitions appear in the window, and more. Is it haunted? Listen and you decide!

Who built this house, and who lived in it? What have the latest owners seen that’s paranormal? Who is the figure people see in the window? Do people really smell lilac perfume? What happens when people take paranormal tours?
