The record — long form
The farmhouse — locally called the Snowden House — stands on Pine Grove Road outside Beattyville, in Lee County where the Kentucky hills begin closing in toward the Red River Gorge.

What's reported
The local lore, collected by Kentucky After Dark and regional news coverage, concentrates upstairs: a woman seen brushing her hair in the third-story window; voices and rattling doorknobs; dishes crashing; the sensation of movement on the bed; and a bathtub that fills itself with water. Past residents supplied most of the accounts; the dossier files them as documented legend, which is the honest category.
The owners leaned in rather than out.
