The Sallie House Haunting: A True Story

The real story behind one family’s paranormal nightmare in a small Kansas house.

“The thing started to move closer to me, and as it did I could make out more details. Her hand was covered in a long, black lace glove—ass it got within inches of my face, I saw a black bird on her finger. I struggled out of bed and over to the door, but I couldn’t get the door open . . .”

This is the firsthand account of what Tony and Debra Pickman and their newborn son Taylor experienced in the now notorious Sallie House, from the day they moved in to the turn-of-the-century haunted house until they finally fled in terror. The story of the Sallie House and the fire-starting ghost girl who haunted it has sparked endless rumors and theories of murder, cover-ups, racism, and abuse. But the Pickmans know the real story because they lived it—and barely made it out alive.

Now, for the first time, Tony and Debra reveal untold stories from their ordeal. They describe Sallie's seemingly protective fascination with their baby, and tell what it was like to live with menacing entities that scratched, bit, and terrorized their family. Along with historical research, the Pickmans share personal photographs and journal entries from their time spent living in the nightmare house that still haunts them today.
