discovered that there was once a man by that name who worked on the estate at one time. He lived in the back room on the third floor. There was no logical reason for Julia to have come up with his name.
There is no evidence of a young girl either missing or later found murdered in Kirkfield. If this did indeed occur, it was more than a well-kept secret. If Julia and Paul’s friend from Florida are correct, however, there was a murderer who lived freely among the residents of Kirkfield.
The Gatehouse Restaurant was located on one side of the property. The structure has been used as a school as well as a restaurant. This building was reputed to be haunted by spirits as long ago as the 1970s. Back then people said they heard noises in the back kitchen on the ground floor and footsteps on the second floor.
Leigh Hazelton was an employee of the restaurant and shared some haunting information with me, “I see a little girl appear under the counter on the first floor of the restaurant. She has short hair and very dirty legs. She would be about six or seven years old. One would think she was real, until she disappears.”
Could this be the little girl from the main house?
“I hear noises all the time, like banging. This always occurs downstairs at 10:00 a.m. I have also heard someone walking around upstairs, the radio goes off by itself downstairs, upstairs the radio changes stations on its own and the hot water tap in the ladies’ washroom goes on by itself.
“When we were renovating the upstairs of the building we had the oddest thing happen. We had just hung a number of decorative plates on the wall. As we turned to leave, one plate flew across the room. This was impossible — we had them securely hooked.”
Paul talked about other unexplained activity in the main building. The Scotts had had some difficulty with the electrical panel on the second floor.

He told me it was impossible for all the breakers to go off at once.
