Tecumseh, MI..Photo and words by Jeff Westover: .I spent a couple of hours in the Hamilton House (1840) tonight...plan on returning tomorrow night for more photography (the owner left me the key) The house is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Tecumseh's earliest surgeon, Increase S. Hamilton, and a mysterious ghost dog in the basement. It is also rumored to be a station on the Underground Railroad. The most common rumor is that the two houses, which were built by twin brothers Elija and Elisha Anderson, are attached by an underground tunnel. Tunnels have been found in the Anderson Beardsley Home (1832) but no evidence for tunnels have yet to be unearthed in the Hamilton House (1840)
