Vaile Mansion

Description

Former insane asylum. Ghosts in the wooden room of faces. The upper part of mansion that is closed off to public is haunted by Mrs. Vaile who killed herself by overdosing on morphine after her husband Mr. Vaile went crazy and died. – January 2004 correction: Mrs. Vaile did not kill herself after her husband went crazy and died. She took fatal dose of morphine, as stated, but not because he went crazy. She did it because Mr. Vaile was in trouble for mail fraud, and was possibly facing a jail sentence, which is why she killed herself. He never went to jail, since he didn’t do it, but she didn’t know that. He lived five years after his wife’s death and never remarried.
