Initial data
During his stay in India, Stuart believed in reincarnation and transmigration of souls.
He returned to the house in 1850 and lived there with numerous dogs: he reportedly stated that he would return in the form of a dog.
Major Stewart was unmarried, but local gossips linked his name to that of his much younger housekeeper, who died there in 1873.
After the major's death, the house was inherited by his nephew John Skinner, who took the name Stuart. Fearing that his uncle would reincarnate as one of his dogs, the new owner reportedly shot them all.
From this story arose the legend that Robert Stewart was forced to wander around the house in the form of a disembodied spirit. The first recorded ghosts in the house took place in 1876. The witness was a maid in the house.
