Between the Powder magazine and the Commandant's House is the Blacksmith Shop. It is said to be haunted by a blacksmith named Jacob.
He wanted the doors to the shop kept open, but the Commandant wanted them kept closed. The door is said to open by itself.
Although neither I nor anyone during our events there have witnessed the door opening, I have witnessed the tools that hang on the wall start swinging by themselves.
On Feb 15th, a metal can was left and the group asked the spirit there to move the can. When they left, they heard a loud noise and when they checked the can was knocked down.
What we have documented in the blacksmith shop appears here:
