My aunt lived in a big old farmhouse in Ky that had been built by a bachelor by the name of Mr Tapp. The story goes that he and some of his cronies were upstairs in one of the rooms playing cards, and Mr. Tapp killed one of the men. Mr. Tapp lived alone in the house for many years and instead of sleeping in any of the bedrooms, he chose to stay in this little tiny room that was built under the stair well with no windows. When my aunt lived there, she would make excuses when people would hear things. The swing on the front porch would swing back and forth. You could hear someone open the front door and walk up stairs, your cover would be taken off your bed at night. After she finally moved away, the nephew of old Mr. Tapp moved into the house and completely rennovated it, but only lived there about two months before he moved out and never returned.
