On 09/07 at 9PM on the SyFy channel the Ghost Hunters will visit Collinwood! That's right we will learn if Seaview / Collinwood is haunted. This should be cool.
Definitely cool. And the house does have a reputation for being haunted as it's included in the book
Haunted Newport.
I can't say I've ever felt anything when I've been in the house, though there was one odd incident when I heard strange sounds in the house while I was there completely alone for a few hours back in August of '99. Why I was there alone for so long is a really long story not worth going into completely, but I was expecting to meet some friends at the house but they were long delayed. And while I waited I began to hear what sounded like furniture being moved around or something being dragged along the floor in the hallway above and around the foyer. And it couldn't have been students because as he was leaving the building for the day, the head of Salve's music department specifically told me that I was going to be the only person left there because no students would be moving in yet and the cleaning ladies were off that day (so I had to make sure that I locked the door if I decided to leave because my friends didn't arrive before I had to go). And as the sounds persisted, curiosity eventually got the better of me, so I went up to the second floor to look around and even called out a few times - but no one was there - and there wasn't a sound from anywhere in the house while I was up there. So, I went back downstairs. Who knows what had been going on? But maybe
Ghost Hunters will be able to answer that question.

Though maybe I don't want to know the answer.
