	+ ------ + ''2019-11-09 10:40:09'' [[nbsp]] I know someone who is a wedding photographer and was taking pictures of a bridal party I the sunken garden. When she looked back at her pictures there was, along with the bridal party, the spirit of a little girl between 4 and 10 years old, dressed in a white lacy dress, standing close to the bridal party and just looking at them. I have been trying to trace who this girl could be....Does anyone know if Frank and Merry Dennis had any children? Or the name of the Sanitarium that Christopher Gian-Cursio changed the castle into? --["Users/KristinaNiemiec"]
