Fair Hill: Richard Brooke, a Quaker, spurned Friends' rejection of violence and served as a patriot colonel in the Revolutionary War. Generations who followed him at Fair Hill in Olney claimed to hear the sound of galloping hooves in the gardens. At midnight it was said that hooves could be heard going up and down the stairs. Descendants wondered if his soul could not rest because of the torment he felt or suffered from others because of having borne arms. They also wondered about his possible companion, the ghost of one of Whitson Canby's Irish potters who supposedly hanged himself in the basement.
