History & local legend
Nathan Denison built this house beside Abrams Creek in 1790, in what is now Forty Fort. A settler from Connecticut, he used a familiar New England arrangement: the downstairs rooms surround a large central chimney. The restored house preserves the setting in which Denison and his family lived.
Its best-known ghost account concerns a visitor at the attic entrance. According to a story historical society director Tony Brooks related to the Times Leader in 2011, the visitor felt that a woman was standing there with him. What struck Brooks was the visitor’s impression of her mood: she seemed happy.
Paranormal investigators later featured the house in a season-two episode of Ghost Detectives.
