The third book in David Dominé’s Old Louisville series turns to the neighborhood’s grandest Gilded Age mansions, gathering disembodied voices, fleeting apparitions, and stranger tales still — aerial phenomena, gargoyle-like winged creatures, and witches reported in the local papers of the day.
Among the highlights: a University of Louisville janitor who moonlighted as a grave robber and reportedly still haunts the old medical school, alongside rich descriptions of the Victorian architecture that makes this national historic district a favorite of old-home enthusiasts.
