felt mansion

Six weeks after Dorr E. Felt and his family moved into the completed mansion in 1928 near Holland, his wife Agnes suddenly died. A year and a half later Mr. Felt died never having much time to enjoy their magnificent new home. Some believe their spirits still haunt the 25 rooms.

There is also an urban legend about an old hospital nearby where a doctor performed experiments on children with large bulbous heads and that some of the children escaped and lurk in the woods. I am not sure about the hauntings or the so-called melonheads, but it is a beautiful old mansion. It’s owned by Laketown Township now and the estate is a park with a disc golf course. ( if it were up to me, I would put some manikins with big heads hidden in the trees to mess with the disc golfers, but I guess that’s why I am not in charge of anything)
