This location is reputedly haunted. One restless spirit is reportedly a butler who worked in the house. Some say Thomas Orman himself, who was once buried in the yard, remains as well.
An Apalachicola man tells the following story about his own experience in the house.
“During the 1960s, I was married to a girl whose mother owned the Orman House. She never saw anything, but she believed there were ghosts in the house. One morning, I had come to fix a hot water heater. I had been working all night at the mill, so I was tired when I finished. I decided to go upstairs to one of the bedrooms and take a nap before going home. As I lay there falling asleep, I heard footsteps on the stairs. I don’t think it was a dream. For some reason, I thought it was my mother-in-law. The footsteps stopped at the door and the knob rattled so I got up to let her in. When I opened the door, there was nobody there. It scared me half to death. I went down those stairs three at a time. I don’t know what that was, but I knew I didn’t want to be there anymore.”
Orman and his wife were eventually relocated to Chestnut Cemetery by a later resident of the Orman House. Perhaps restless spirits prompted the relocation.
