Welcome to the Chelsea House Pool and Gardens. Originally the Delgado Mansion and then later the Red Rooster Inn, the Chelsea House is home to at least one wandering spirit. An unsuspecting man was relaxing with a cigar in his favorite chair without a care in the world. His devious wife murdered her trusting husband and buried his body beneath the front steps of the mansion. His disappearance was a mystery to their neighbors. Upon her deathbed, Mrs. Delgado confessed that she had in fact murdered her poor husband and she revealed the location of the body. Many years later, the mansion became a bed and breakfast. Guests often see the ghostly image of man in 19th century dress in their bedrooms. He seems confused and completely unaware of the presence of others. After a few moments he fades away. Is Mr. Delgado wandering the property in search of his body?
