Whenever I visit a historic home, museum or hotel, I always have to ask if there are any ghost stories associated with the building. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. I feel like legends and ghost stories personalize history. They allow you to vividly imagine the people and places of another time. Back in school, history class could sometimes induce snores. However, history comes to life when you hear about the people who actually lived it.
