Our tour guide was excellent! They aren't allowed to talk about ghosts but I had to ask because we walked into the children's bedroom and it was colder than the rest of the rooms in the house. As soon as my stepdaughter said she didn't like the porcelain doll on the bed the light in the bedroom starting flickering like crazy. Overall it was a very good tour.
