Stories are just that. Stories and personal accounts that have been reported about the location. This section could also contain research notes as well.

Story 1

"I took to humming or talking to myself as I opened the Firestone Farm house in the morning, but then I would hear something I didn't want to. Often there are thumps in that house. One particular event happened when the house was just about to open and I was tending downstairs while a couple other ladies were up in the attic on the third floor. I heard a loud crash and I hurried to the stairs, thinking that they had tripped coming down. I called up to see if they were alright and they called down to ask the same of me. We met at the stairs and realized that the thump had come from the second floor. Whether this was to get our attention or as a warning, I can't be sure. I know that we refer to whatever it is as "Sally" but there are times when the sounds, the weird shifts in things, don't feel quite so welcoming, and I do believe that Sally would have been more welcoming."

Story 2

"A number of years ago I was at Firestone in the fall at the end of the day working with another staff member to finish dishes and clean the kitchen. I was standing by the back porch door when I thought I heard her drop one of the metal plates onto the floor. I turned to see if she was alright when I noticed she was staring at the stove.

I asked if she was o.k. but she just pointed towards the stove and we both noticed that the metal drying rod was bouncing behind it. Neither of us had been by the stove for a while since it was cooling off before the end of the day. We'd had no visitors for at least an hour (it was a cool, rainy day), and we were using the towels that normally sat on the rack.

Pulling the towels off the metal rod pockmarked the walls and rarely resulted in it bouncing. In the nearly ten years I worked there, and countless times I was in that kitchen as the metal of the stove heated up and cooled down, it never happened before.

We couldn't figure out what made that rod pick up and drop by itself, and we stood there dumbfounded and watched it bounce until it stopped. Very weird and cool at the same time.

I tried jumping on the floor and walking by the door to see if that would cause anything, which it did not, and my coworker was sufficiently spooked and wanted to leave pretty quick. I wanted it to happen again so I could test other theories. Still odd. It was the only thing witnessed by someone else that otherwise I would have questioned my sanity."

Story 3

"The only experience I've ever had was one day at Firestone, I was in the kitchen standing over by the sink. We were cleaning up, when all of a sudden, we heard this loud clang over by the stove. We looked over and saw the rod used for drying flipp forward off the wall, hanging free. No one was over by the stove and there was no way that the wind could have flipped that steel rod like it was. We ladies looked at each other and then I walked over and put the rod back in place and we went about our business. That is the only experience I've had besides seeing things out of the corner of my eye or hearing rocking chairs rock upstairs late at night."

Story 4

"The rocking chair thing happened while a few of us were staying late at the farm during lambing season. We were just sitting in the house while it's all dark and creepy and we heard the rocking chair upstairs start rocking."

Story 5

This is not the first presenter to tell me the rocking chair story. In fact, a number of presenters have also mentioned hearing footsteps on the 2nd floor of Firestone while others said they heard women's voices in the kitchen when no one was there. Like the rocking chair story, the narrative of hearing women's voices has been told to me a few times from different presenters over the years. I was also told of hearing heavy footsteps on the 2nd story of the barn well after closing time.

Story 6

"I've had an experience on the second floor at Firestone Farm as well. That particular year I opened up the farm 3 days a week so I was used to my routine. I heard voices coming from the parent's bedroom when I was opening up the house alone one morning. I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard people talking, and I just started to talk aloud that I respected them and that I didn't want to see anything. I have a deep respect for that house. It didn't really freak me out either. I just felt like I interrupted someone's conversation so I apologized and kept moving on with my day. It gave me a very strange feeling, but I never heard anything again."
