| Ravenswood was built in 1880 and cost $30,000 to build. The home has 30 rooms filled with china, paintings and antique furniture.
Throughout all of the 119 years and history of Ravenswood it may be hard for one to believe, but not much about the house has changed. Most of the things there have been there since the house was built. The home has been through six generations of Leonards.
Floating lights have been seen and music heard on the grounds, and a large music box in the upstairs hall is said to turn itself on late at night. Also loud crashing sounds have been heard that can last over 15 minutes. The ghost may be that of Nadine Leonard who lived to the age of 90 here, or the son Nelson who was crushed to death by a car that slipped out of gear and pushed him into the front iron gate. When Nadine died her bedroom door "Panorama 81" became locked and could not be opened for five days, then mysteriously the door became unlocked after the fifth day.
