The Dempsey House in Leonardo has some eerie tales surrounding it. The abandoned 1890s-era house was once part of the Dempsey Estate. Local legend says that Mr. Dempsey went insane and killed his entire family. He then allegedly hanged himself from a tree on the property. Trick-or-treaters thought his body was part of some creepy Halloween decorations! His spirit is said to haunt the home. Witnesses have reported seeing the noose that Dempsey used to kill himself, swaying from the tree at night.
