History & local legend

The former Rolling Hills Country Club in Peters Township, Washington County, incorporated an older farmhouse into its clubhouse. Successive additions expanded the two-story house into a larger building against the hillside, but the cellar remained central to its ghost tradition.

The story collected in 2004 said a man had died by suicide in the original house's basement. People described a small male figure and unexplained noises, and an exorcism was said to have been performed. In September 2008, a correspondent who knew the story added a personal claim of having seen the man.
