Local stories of sisters living there, and it was haunted - man the stories made up about that place are awesome. Some say father was in a glass case in house.

Ha Ha - I knew the Warren family well and had many visits to the house. All the stuff mentioned by 10:07 were old wive's tales ... not true.
