In Blair County, Pennsylvania, stands the Baker Mansion. It may seem fancy on the exterior, but within the walls of the mansion holds something sinister. In the mid 1800's lived a woman named, you guessed it, Anna Baker. She was born into a wealthy family but met a lower class iron worker. The two fell in love and planned a wedding in secret. After she had bought her dress, however, her father found out about the relationship. Upon learning of the relationship he grew furious and forbade the wedding from ever taking place.
After that, Anna refused to marry any possible higher class suitors that her father introduced her to. She became very angry and bitter for the rest of her days until she died in 1914. Her dress now hangs in her old room and is occasionally seen moving behind the glass. Which wouldn't seem to be odd, except for the fact that it is in an air-tight case. It is said that the dress moving is a result of Anna's spirit dancing her wedding dance that she was never able to have.
This story was Educational because of the history of the Baker Mansion. It informed me of a mansion that I have not yet heard of.
