Source-grounded excerpt

ABC Tasmania's interview with Noel Stanley of the Glamorgan Spring Bay Historical Society says Piermont was home to a story in which a little girl repeatedly went upstairs to play with a family and then asked for a doctor on the anniversary of Alice Maria King's death. Stanley links the Piermont stairs to Alice Maria King, who died after falling while running for a letter from her fiance, and says this would fit the bill for unrequited love and a ghost to wander around.

The excerpt is presented as public-source context. Terminology belongs to the cited source and may be historical, contested, culturally specific, or outdated.
