Mr. Nicholson was a fairly eccentric person, but he was not a cruel man, as some have suggested. He seems to have been a kind hearted soul. Nevertheless, he had some odd ideas. It is rumored that he planned to live in his house for a thousand years, or until eternity. It's been suggested that he felt as long as he continued to work on his house, he would not die. When his wife died in 1950, Mr. Nicholson was devastated. He continued to live in the home until 1965, when he died as well, and was buried in Clarks Grove Cemetery.

There are some though who believe that the spirit of Mr. Nicholson still lives in this house. After all, he had planned to live there for a thousand years. People have claimed to have seen his ghost moving about the property, or strange lights in the yard. It seems to be a common legend among neighborhood children, though several adults have also reported seeing paranormal activity. The current owner of the house has no comment.

Since this house is a private residence, please respect property rights and don't trespass. You might have to deal with more than a ghost if you do!
