Legend varies, but mostly states that the attic room of the house is haunted by a spirit of a young woman who committed suicide there.[7] She purportedly threw herself from a top floor window after being abused by her uncle;[8] and is said to be capable of frightening people to death. The spirit is said to take the form of a brown mist; though sometimes it is reported as a white figure.[9] A rarer version of the tale is that a young man was locked in the attic room, fed only through a hole in the door, until he eventually went mad and died.[10] One story states that the attic room is haunted by the ghost of a little girl that was killed by a sadistic servant in that room.
