Lorna Grabe: wanted to move out and build a house, and they didn't want to put money into the barn and so it just fell down. But it was just beautiful ... as you came down the valley, you'd see this ... first this old house up on the left, you know, where the Robsons lived. And then you see this beautiful old barn, it was just beautiful. And then the only other old houses I know of are the old red house down here.
Bob Zybach: Is that the house that's supposed to be haunted?
Lorna Grabe: Yeah.
Bob Zybach: Can you tell me fairly ... I got the same story from Wanda Cook, and she heard it from her mother and ... I keep hearing this haunted story. First I was ignoring it because that's not history, but now the story is history so ... can you tell me what the story is on it?
Lorna Grabe: You'd better talk to Louise Hollister, she's just great, she lived in that house for awhile while they were building their house, and she swears ... she's a very good Mormon and she swears that ... this is true, and she and Ken have both seen this ghost. And she says it's true and you have to talk to her. She can tell it better than I can.
Bob Zybach: So she used to live in the house?
Lorna Grabe: Yeah. And she's seen the ghost so
