Tampa Bay, FLLocal News

The May-Stringer House, a historic site in Brooksville, Florida, is renowned for its ghost tours that explore its haunted legacy. Built in 1856 and maintained by the Hernando Historical Museum Association, the home has been a center for paranormal activity. Guided by Jesse Lisk, a dedicated paranormal researcher, these tours reveal unsettling reports of moving furniture and strange voices. The Victorian house, once surrounded by 150 acres of wilderness, is now situated in the heart of downtown Brooksville. In the nursery, Lisk believes three spirits linger, including Jessie Mae, a young girl who died at the age of three, and her mother, Marina.

Tour participants often capture photographs with orbs and shadows, enhancing the home's eerie allure. With tours offered every Friday and Saturday, the May-Stringer House invites thrill-seekers to experience a unique blend of history and hauntings. Lisk expresses enthusiasm for sharing the house's stories, emphasizing the community aspect of these ghost tours.
