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.
