From the Maitland Mercury report:
There is a presence inside historic East Maitland house “Torquay” that owner Leanne Saccaro can sense every time she walks in the front door.
She calls it Torquay’s personality, the spirits of the original owners remaining within the walls.
A gentleman in a top hat and tails has been seen walking along the hall and there is a female presence that is protective of the house, Mrs Saccaro said.
