History & local legend
Gibson House Manor stands on Liberty Street in Jamestown, Mercer County. Built in 1856 for Dr. William H. Gibson and his wife, the house later acquired a collection of ghost stories involving its grounds, rooms, and carriage house.
A 2015 article by Melissa Klaric in The Herald described a female apparition known as Victoria, along with unexplained footsteps and banging sounds. One of the most distinctive reports concerned the belvedere, the small lookout above the roof. Witnesses said they could see a lantern flickering there even though no lantern was present.
The house's window displays contributed to its eerie appearance, too: painted wooden figures of children were deliberately moved between windows.
