Doctor’s Operating Room $150/night
On December 15th 1910, Doctor John A. Gibbon’s ran his 1st advertisement in the local newspaper, the Mitchell Commercial, stating this was his operating room. Many visitors have reported feelings of being watched/followed in here. While this room is the most requested (as it’s on the 1st floor, and has a private bathroom), it’s the most creepy after dark.
Visitors have also often reported smells of antiseptic/alcohol. Depending on which side of the bed you sleep on, a number of visitors feel better after sleeping in this room as if the Doctor has cured their ailments, while others report the opposite sleeping on the ‘other’ side of the bed.
Other reports of activity in this room are growling sounds, snarls, and sighting of a humanoid creature [dubbed “big black”] have been reported in this room. One visitor was grabbed on the back of the neck by “big black”, 3 ‘fingers’ and 1 ‘thumb’. Pillows fly off the beds, Candles launch from nightstand.
Investigators have recorded disturbing EVPs, from just inside the bathroom door, of women pleading for help/rescue.

Jessie’s Chamber $100/night
This is the master bedroom where Jessie Ruth Gibbons died after a bout with double-pneumonia. Visitors have reported being awaken hearing heavy/labored breathing, some stating they awoke but unable to move/breathe, as if some one/thing were pressing on their chest.
Sarah Elizabeth [S.E.], a 10-month old baby is also believed to have died in this room; cause unknown, but one can often hear baby cries in this room, and at times, reports of baby powder can be detected throughout the house.
This room has a closet (off-camera to left) which can repeatedly wake up visitors by strong sudden jiggling of the doorknob, by an unseen presence. The jiggling will stop, then a moment later the door opens. It is suspected that this is the pranks of Gary Tolliver. a special-needs boy that died in the house in 1974.
Movie Buffs: Visitors often ask for this room/bed by name as “the vampire bed” as this bed is an actual prop from the movie “Interview with a Vampire”.

Rachael’s Room $100/night
Although no documentation has been discovered to confirm this story, rumors persist that Dr John and Jessie Gibbons adopted Rachael when her Mother died in the doctor’s operating room after a carriage accident. In late 1912, near Christmas, Rachael was caught in a fire in the ground floor front parlor room. After which, she languished in this room for 2 days before dying. Sadly, visitors can often still hear her screams/cries of agony.
Visitors have often reported hearing laughter of children, as well as being awakened by someone bouncing/jumping on the bed, tugging/stroking of their hair, as well as seeing a child standing beside the bed in the early morning. Apparitions have frequently been sighted in this room.
The bed in this room is quite unarguably the most comfortable in the house, I wish my personal bed was this comfy.

Attic Loft $75/night
Although the floor is not finished yet. The most daring individual might want to try sleeping a full night in this room and honestly brag about no nightmares. the previous owner was only able to sleep up here 4 nights before the nightmares kept him from more. 2 psychics have stated this area is the heart of the house, that there’s a strong sense of death/rebirth here.
Seriously..... This nightmares comment is no joke, I frequently have lucid dreams, but upon telling of some of their dreams, others have described as horrible nightmares. I have also been awakened twice by something trying to get in, strongly jiggling the doorknob. (editor’s note: yeah, we know ghosts don’t need to use doors, but people do, and you can’t run away very easily when you’re only way out is through that door). :-P
NOTE: The flooring is not finished. There is no air/heater in this room, no bathroom, yet, on this 3rd floor, but there is a bed.
This room is only recommended for truly hardcore enthusiasts, as 2 flights of stairs to the front door is a long distance to run when you get scared $#!tless.

Servant’s Quarter $??/night
Taking quotes from most guests, “This room is SPOOKY!”
The floor is off-balance, 2 windows are VERY FRAGILE (STAY AWAY), and well, you’ll just get an eerie feeling in here, day or night.
There is a back stairway to the kitchen (perfect for those late night/early morning munchies), but numerous spooky things keep even the current owner from wanting to spend time in this room.
An apparition has been frequently seen in this room. This apparition is believed to be that of Rachael Gibbons, adopted daughter of Doctor John and Jessie Gibbons.
NOTE: There are lights, but NO BED, and BAD INSULATION from outside elements (heat/cold) in this room (but you will not be rained on) :-). This room is not explicitly offered for overnight sleeping, but paying guests are welcome to crash here if they like (please bring sleeping bags or cots/air mattress, etc...). This room is only included here to give it proper coverage as some guest have suggested to list each room on this page. The main door to this room has a habit of slamming shut -HARD... do not have your fingers in the doorjamb.
This room is only recommended for the rough ghost hunters willing to tough it out in an extreme location just for a chance at seeing the rare, and elusive, “spooky apparition”. The one good thing about this room is there are 2 restrooms nearby, AND two exits to this room, ensuring you’ll always have an exit when confronted by big, bad, or spooky-ghost.
P.S. We did not place the ‘bricks’ there, a previous owner did. Please don’t hold that against us. :-)
