The Funeral Parlor

The most often told story is that the Kehoe family is still haunting the house, both William and his wife Annie Kehoe are said to still be seen on occasions in their former home. But it is not the only thing that made the house haunted according to the stories.

One of the things that led the Renaissance Revival house to being dubbed as a haunted house was from when it was used as a funeral home.

The Kehoe House was used for this for around 5 decades and many believe that those that passed through Goette Funeral Home still lingers.

Some believe these whispers are coming from those trapped in limbo, while others simply ignore them and leave as quickly as possible.

Another of the ghost stories that are told on the haunted pub crawls and from the tour buses is the story about the ghosts of 2 of the 10 Kehoe children that supposedly died inside of the Kehoe House. The most told legend is the horrible tragedy of the two twin boys playing and getting stuck in the chimney. Slowly as ashes fell and were breathed in, they suffocated and died.

This is a story that has been debunked several times as there are no paper trails that support these claims. But even though the story about the chimney is a lie, there are those that claim to have heard the sound of children playing and laughing even if the Bed and Breakfast doesn’t allow children to stay there. Sometimes they have even heard the voice of a small child calling out: Mommy.
