ALBINO FARM
Albino Farm
also known as Springlawn Estates and Sheedy Farm
Located off North National near Greenlawn Cemetery.
This estate dates back to pre-Civil War times and was once considered "the talk of the town", drawing envious admiration from people near and far. The
Estates were built by the Sheedy family, a hard-working family of farmers. However, the Estates hold tragedies within the Sheedy family at its heart, including
the report that one of the Sheedy sons commited suicide on the property. The property ultimately ended up the responsibility of one of the seven Sheedy
children, a daughter. Reportedly the daughter hired an albino man to watch over the large estate for she and her family. The man was said to have a foul temper
and would chase individuals who came too close to the property away with a shotgun. Eventually the albino man was accused of two gruesome hatchet
murders, one a decapitation on a nearby bridge known as the Albino Farm Bridge, which holds a haunting all its own.
The large two story, 12 room frame home ultimately became very ran down and in 1988 a massive fire destroyed the entire home save some stone pillars
which still stand to mark this once majestic homes entrance. The farm was auctioned off in late 1970's at the request of the remaining elderly Sheedy family.
There are no known reports of hauntings here, just legends of hauntings, probably due to the old homes eerie demise and history. Also, different stories and
legends have evolved regarding the estates due to the fact that the previous caretaker was albino. One local legend states that a "colony" of albinos were
held captive on the estates, this is only a figment of someones imagination, not a fact.
Also, there is legend of an "Albino cemetery" at the Albino Farm, there is no evidence to support this legend. Personally, I believe this was simply once a
beautiful family farm whose family, hard-working farmers, name has been smudged at the not so pleasent rumors and legends regarding their beloved family
home.
While I myself have not been here the lore is what caught my eye. After spending a little while searching through videos and a couple of supposed evps I've found nothing. This could just be a fluke it is why I want to go investigate, the lore above if the best of what i have found, Marvin has heard the lore as well, and we look forward to investigating.
