I worked in maintainance at the Tryon House in the mid 90's. I have been all througout this building, and yes i heard many many stories of ghost. I myself have never seen any evidance of ghost, but have spoken to residents who truely believe the saw ghost. The Lawing family, who own the building were always kind and honest to me, hey are great people.
I have been all through the basement of this building, and have viewed the burnt brickwork from that historic fire. I recently revisited the building (which i haven't seen in 20 years), and seeing her still standing brought a smile to my face. She has stood the test of time, and is a major part of Charlotte's history.
P.S.
To The lawing family, Tommy jr, Sr, Bobby, and Annete, I want to say, Thank you for making my life better.
