History & local legend
Wheatland, James Buchanan’s Lancaster home, was the setting for an unusual experience recounted by medium Rob Gutro after an October 2011 visit. The house was closed that Sunday, so Gutro and his companions Tom and Troy remained outside. Troy said he sensed a figure in an upstairs window on the right side of the house.
Troy and Gutro addressed Buchanan and asked for a sign near the corner below that window. Gutro reported hearing a sharp knock from downstairs. They checked nearby fixtures for something loose that might have made the sound but found no obvious cause. Tom was sitting on a bench behind the house during the episode.
