In the common theme of love lost, Timothy Hill had a daughter Jennie who he wished to marry into a wealthy family. However, a man named Tom Freeman was in love with her and tried to convince Capt Hill to let them marry. When he refused, Tom show his love by bumrushing Jennie and her mother in a field and somehow shot Jennie. In despair, he then shot himself and only the mother survived. It is believed that Jennie still roams the halls, but apparently Tom is nowhere to be seen.
