Now operating as a high-end Bed and Breakfast, has a rich history that dates back to when it was built for Emily Baker, the widow of Robert Baker. Robert was a successful businessman who made his fortune as a partner in the J. Case Company, which continues to operate today as a global manufacturer of construction equipment. The house, originally known as Redwood Cottage, was named after the trees that provided the wood for its construction.

The security cameras are motion activated and will often turn on in the middle of the night and stay on for a long time, up to an hour, with nothing to show for it.

Or could it be some kind of psychic recording of any number of people who have passed through the house over the past years?
