The Diary
Gwyneth Jacobs

1869 - 1898

​

These are excerpts from the diary of Gwenyth Jacobs, discovered in a hidden recess of the tower walls during the renovations of the 1970’s.  Most of the pages are torn and illegible, however the entries preserved here have proved invaluable to historians as they work to reconstruct the fateful events at Jacobs Hill, and the earliest manifestations of paranormal activity at the property.  The diary also provides a rare glimpse that allows us to understand the motivations of the family, and Mrs. Jacobs in particular.
