The earliest records found of the infamous Whispers Estate date back to 1894, so that is when it is believed the house was built. Even if the entire history isn't widely available, everyone who's heard of it knows that it's a supposed paranormal hot spot with a dark and death-filled past.
A 10-year-old orphan, named Rachel, who was adopted by former owners, Dr. John and Jessie Gibbons, died from severe burns after starting a fire in the front parlor. It is said that she has been seen running through the house, trailing the smell of smoke behind her; people have also heard her name whispered in the hallways.
Jessie died of pneumonia in the master bedroom. Guests have reported waking up ill, unable to breathe, and with a relentless cough. The closet door has been known to open repeatedly and the doorknob turn over and over. Jessie has also been seen standing in the corner, watching those in her room.
An infant died in that same bedroom and the smell of baby powder and cries of an infant have been sensed in the room.
Two others who are alleged to have died there are a young boy who fell down the stairs and an old man who was found deceased in an upstairs bathroom; the cause of his demise is unknown. The sound of something tumbling down the steps has been heard in the night.

The home used to be a bed and breakfast and is rumored to still be full of haunts. Patrons had heard strange whispers at night, fluttering through the various bedrooms and hallways. This has earned the old manor its menacing name. There was once a bed in what was dubbed the "Vampire Room" that was used on the set of the film Interview with the Vampire. The place is now only rented out for paranormal investigations.
