Why is
the T. B. Scott Mansion
Haunted? *In
the 1850s, white lumbermen were welcomed by Native
Americans and their chief. The chief's daughter,
Jenny, for whom the settlement was name for died.
Many speculate how she died. One account says she
fell in love with one of the lumberman, became pregnant,
and killed herself. Another story is that she died
during child birth. The last tale says she caught
the flu brought by the lumbermen and died. The
chief buried her on the hill, and cursed the ground,
saying that it would never do the white man any good.
This curse is the legend.-SL
*Nine people died after T. B. Scott bought the land for
a home in 1884 and he died unexpectedly in 1886 before
the house was finished. Within a year, his wife
Ann died. Scott's son, Walter, went to see the
architect to finish the house. He was stabbed to
death by him.-SL
*In 1893, the house was sold to a man named Kuechle.
He lost all his money on a gold mine and mortgaged the
house to Tony Barsanti. Tony foreclosed the house
and Kuechle went insane and died in an asylum. The
same year Barsanti was stabbed to death in Chicago while
waiting for a train to Merrill.-SL
*In 1901, George Gibson bought the house and went to
inspect it. He was never seen again.-SL
*In 1906, Mary Fellhaber bought the property. Soon
after she fell ill and died.-SL
*Popcorn Dan was the caretaker and died in 1912 after
booking a passage on the Titanic.-SL
*The next caretaker Mr. Lloydsen died of alcoholism.-SL
*In 1919, the widower of Mary Fellhaber gave the
property to the city. In 1923, the city gave it to
the Sisters of the Holy Cross who have seemed to break
the curse for now.-SL
*On a hill, the Scott Mansion stands. A
Native American chief cursed the grounds for all white
men after a band of thugs murdered his daughter.-WS |
