It reads like a good place for a movie set, a Steven King movie that is.

Kentucky's T.B. Ripy House, Haunted by a Whiskey Baron, is a Real-Life Scooby-Doo Mansion
Whether for the ghosts, the history, or the architecture, it’s hard not to love big, abandoned mansions, but when it comes to combining the three, Lawrenceburg, Kentucky’s T.B. Ripy house takes things to a whole different level. Not only is the massive manor house abandoned, it’s haunted by a handful oh ghosts, including one who might even be the founder of Wild Turkey Bourbon. Week In Weird had the chance to visit the Ripy House for a private tour of the grounds and property, and let me tell you, it’s like walking into a real episode of Scooby-Doo.
The incredible estate was built in 1888 by Wild Turkey tycoon Thomas B. Ripy, who had recently inherited the family bourbon business. Thomas proved himself to be a savvy business man, and when he died in 1902, he left the mansion to his 10 children and wife. For awhile, life was good for the wealthy Ripys, but then Prohibition put the breaks on the sale of booze and, consequently, the family cashflow. The Ripy family wasn’t going to let a silly little thing like a federal law get in the way of their legacy, and set out to combat the new law by having their mansion Scooby Doo-afied.

9 Most Haunted Movie Theaters in America | The Lineup
Most people run screaming when they see a ghost. Not us. In fact, we’d watch a movie with it.
Read on for a list of haunted movie theaters across the country that do more than just screen scary movies and serve up tubs of buttery popcorn—they ask you to take your seat, silence your cell phone, and pay no attention to the floating figure in the corner.

Theatres always seem to collect ghosts. Maybe they get board and enjoy the shows too
