Is it all true or is it just a legend?

The mansion is located in Ohio City, a suburb on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio. It is known to have many secret passageways. However, it is not known for sure how many. There is even a tunnel said to run all the way to Lake Erie. Of the many ghosts at the mansion, the most notorious is the Woman in Black. Visitors have reported numerous unusual occurrences such as hearing children, hearing crying, faces that appear in the woodwork and/or walls, doors that open and shut on their own, mysterious fog that appears out of nowhere, various voices, cold spots, and much, much more. One of the oddest findings in the home was the discovery of at least a dozen skeletons of babies in a small sealed room. The county coroner examined the remains. He was able to confirm that they were indeed the remains of human infants. However, he ruled out foul play. The only other thing he could confirm was that the bones were very old.
