The Glenn House is known for its dark, beautiful, and sometimes creepy atmosphere, with a history of reported paranormal activity including disembodied footsteps and doors shutting, particularly in the children's room. A former resident's presents mysteriously unwrapping themselves each year is a well-known story, suggesting playful paranormal energy. Staff often refuse to give tours alone, and a "Ghost Hunters" investigation on the A&E network in 2020 sought to verify these occurrences. Footsteps are often heard, especially in the children's room, and doors have been heard closing on their own. A tradition of placing wrapped gifts under a Christmas tree each year was stopped because the presents would be found unwrapped the next day, pointing to a playful, childlike energy. Some people involved with the house have reported feeling uncomfortable or unsafe to be alone inside, leading to tours not being given by a single person. The Glenn House is a restored, Victorian-era house museum that dates back to the late 19th century. The reported paranormal occurrences led to an investigation by the A&E show "Ghost Hunters" in 2020.
