Mortals who care to discover the REAL ghosts in the Pearl S. Buck House are invited to visit on Sunday, October 28, for a slightly spooky, yet family-friendly Ghost Tour. Visitors will encounter some of the many ghosts seen on the property by Pearl S. Buck, her neighbors, and house visitors. Through the years there have been many documented ghost sightings at the Pearl S. Buck House, including a ghost called “Devil Harry” who was a drunkard and well known for pinching bottoms of visitors to the House; a ghost called the “Shrubbqe Woman” who spoke with Pearl as she worked in her beloved gardens; a ghost called the “Colonial Children’s Nurse” who quieted people in the House because she was tending to babies on the third floor; a ghost called “Ole Hen” who came in from farm work to line up for dinner; and a ghost called the “Repentant Preacher” who roamed the property telling people to repent. Real people in the life of Pearl S. Buck will be “brought back from the dead” for this one special night. Portrayed by actors, they will host the event, keeping up the tradition set by Ms. Buck, who hosted a Community Halloween Party every year. Mrs. Loris, housekeeper to Pearl S. Buck, will lead daring mortal visitors through the tour of the house and grounds. Richard Walsh, Ms. Buck’s husband, will show off his personal office. Pearl S. Buck herself will also make an appearance, as well as a character from the Dickens’ books she loved to read. At the end of the tour, the former gardener, George Gala, will offer his fresh-pressed cider made with an original antique apple press This will be the 7th year of the Ghost Tours.
