The "Gillespie Mansion" likely refers to the former Donore Estate or "Midget Mansion" in San Antonio, a site known for urban legends of a father going mad and murdering his family, which supposedly resulted in hauntings like disembodied voices, apparitions, and cold spots. However, this is likely a misnomer, as the house was built by a wealthy oil man, and the "little people" aspect was an urban legend, not fact. The estate was torn down, and the land is now an apartment complex. The estate was called the "Midget Mansion" due to an urban legend that it was built by a little person. The legend claims the patriarch, a successful 1920s businessman, went insane, murdered his entire family, and then killed himself. Following the supposed tragedy, visitors and investigators reported paranormal activity, such as: Disembodied voices and whispers, Apparitions of shadowy figures, Cold spots and sudden drops in temperature, Objects moving or levitating without explanation, and Unexplained footsteps and knocking sounds.
