Numerous reports from staff and guests alike have told stories over the years of this dead soldier’s activities. "Clem" has been seen as a full-body apparition of the old soldier appearing in various places before quickly disappearing. Others have reported that they have felt spirit breathing on their necks. Yet more tales report the sounds of footsteps on the stairs when no one is there, other unexplained noises, and objects that inexplicably seem to move by themselves. Some who have seen the spirit describe him a stocky man with dark hair and a beard, dressed in a Civil War Federal uniform.
Every year, during October, the museum hosts an event in Clem’s honor, telling the stories of this lively apparition, who has been investigated by paranormal groups on a number of occasions.
