History & local legend
Kane Manor stands on Clay Street in Kane, in McKean County. Dr. Elizabeth Kane had the house built in 1896 after a fire destroyed the family’s earlier home. Its rooms combined family life with the work of a physician.
The manor’s ghost stories center on a family member called Sash, who was said to have vowed that she would continue walking its halls. Visitors associated her with a shadow in the Yellow Room.
Other reports described pans rattling when nobody was using them and a baby crying in the room above the office.
