In its time, the mansion was a modern marvel, with indoor plumbing, central heating, and multiple elevators. The mansion spans 24,000 square feet of living space, on 6 acres of land, and if that wasn’t impressive enough, it boasts 161 rooms (one previously unknown room was just discovered in the attic of the house. In it contained a pump organ, a dress form, a sewing machine, a Victorian sofa, and several paintings), 40 bedrooms, 47 staircases, 10,000 windows, 2 basements and 2,000 doors.

Haunted H1
The Koolau Range mountains, on the eastern coast of Oahu in Hawaii, was formed by numerous volcanic eruptions. The most prominent feature of the range is a serrated precipice, the “pali” or cliff, that rises on the eastern side and reaches heights ranging from 500 to 2,500 feet above sea level. Two cliff passes cut through the range, one of which is known as the Nuuanu Pali.
In 1782, the island of Hawaii was separated into three fragments, striking a power struggle that would last for ten years. On the large island, the death of the Hawaiian monarch Kalanipou’u left rival warrior princes to fight for power. One, Kamehameha, managed to take the Hawaiian throne.

Catman’s Grave
At the end of an old dirt road, in South Eastern Delaware, there is an old cemetery dating back to the early 1800’s. Long Cemetery, also known as Colonel Armwell Long Cemetery. Long served in the Revolutionary War with George Washington, and when he died in 1834, he was buried alongside his wife, a son, and several other relatives in their small family plot. The land, owned by the Layton family, was soon turned into a large public cemetery in Armwell’s memory, with him being cited as the first official burial.
The catman, however, has nothing to do with the origins of the cemetery. The catman is actually a former caretaker, called such because of his feline, or cat-like, features. He lived in a nearby home and didn’t appreciate the local teenagers who enjoyed coming to the cemetery to party, or be a general nuisance. He spent much of his time running them off.
