Fire Station No. 4 — Vogt Reel House — Kentucky

The record

Firefighter Henry McDonald died while sleeping at this 1904 firehouse on Christmas Day 1945. Lewis O. Powell IV summarizes subsequent accounts of heavy footsteps, cold drafts and a rocking chair heard moving upstairs. Firefighters adopted the reported presence affectionately as a station mascot, eventually calling the spirit “The Captain.”

Paranormal explanations remain claims, not established facts. Read the original sources for context.
