Anecdotal Information
Interview with Jae Clebourne on June 28, 2015: Jae Clebourne moved into her home on Rivermont Avenue in 2004. The house needed to be rewired and the plumbing to be redone. She also had to rebuild the furnace. The house has two doors on the outside, one that leads to a parlor with door in 1923. There was a fire in the house which led to Jae having to do extensive repairs to the structure of the house. The house has two ghosts. One is an older man that wears a grey suit and has a mustache and has been seen by Jae’s granddaughters. The other ghost is little girl who has a white dress and wears her hair in braids.
