Haunted History
The arboretum is widely reported to be haunted, particularly the Queen Anne Cottage. Some have claimed to see the ghost of Lucky Baldwin or one of his wives. Others have claimed to see Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, a Hollywood actor and writer, who once lived in the house and committed suicide there. Visitors have claimed hearing moaning coming from the house, where Lucky Baldwin's wife also died of cancer, odd cooking smells, and seeing various strange anomalies walk the gardens at night.
