Tokai Manor House
Ghost stories
The manor house in Tokai was built in 1795. The Eksteen family who lived there in the late 1900s threw a wild drunken New Year party one year. That year young Frederick Eksteen was challenged to ride his horse into the living room. He did this to great applause but because of the rowdy guests the horse was spooked and it tumbled down the stairs on the veranda.
Frederick was dragged to his death. The horse also died. Since that date, workers at the manor house have reported hearing sounds of partying and of horse hooves. Some have even claimed to have seen a man on horseback galloping around late at night, particularly at the new year.
