Moving into a really strange house, located in a strange little town

In the light of a bright summer day, this quiet, pre-civilwar village has an old victorian charm that so many places try to make with unsatisfactory results. The streets, both dirt and paved are lined with great maples, oaks, fir trees reaching up to the cool summer blue skys. The lawns are mown, and mostly shady with the occassional yellow mottling produced by the warn summer sun .The village has two churches one built in the early 1800s and at the end of town a more modern one,   one school built in replacement of a Romanesque school structure, in the 1930s and added on to until a couple years past. The Grocery store, half new and half early 1900s; an antique store in a precivil war brick structure, a small beauty shop and many many ghost stories.                   Ghost stories fly between locals who have known each other since childhood. Unfortunately visitors or strangers will be assured that no such thing is a part of the picturesque little village.                      I moved here almost 30 years ago. I bought a three story  victorian, romanesque , brick structure that  contains 16 rooms; most of these rooms have 10 to 14 ft. ceilings, the rooms, most of them are quite large 16x22 guest parlor with built in triglobed lights ringing the walls. Obviously the electric lights replaced similiar gas fixtures. The Upstairs master bedroom is the same size of its Parlour counterpart. The strange began to happen almost from the day we moved in. The house required a tremendous amount of work, as it had once been a resthome and those huge rooms had been cubiciled off into tiny cubicles for the  patients. So the job became, simply removing all these false rooms and restoring the room back to its original condition. A very wide staircase that wound from the entrance hall door ,with colored glass windows, up to the second floor. This stair had all been enclosed and most of the ultrawide banaster ,made of mahogeny ,was missing. This all had to be removed as well.
