[3] Some believe Dr. Finney practiced medicine from the house, using the bottom floor for surgery and examination, and a bedroom as an office.

The house was listed on the real estate website Zillow for $1 million in February 2016, dropped to $499,000 in August, and taken off market in November 2017.

[6] According to legend, a child named Sallie was brought to Dr. Finney's house by her mother for severe abdominal pain.

[7] However, there is no physical evidence of a Sallie living or dying on the property and it has been said that the Mayor made the story up as a publicity stunt to attract more visitors to the city of Atchison, Kansas.

It has been especially reported by male residents and visitors, some of whom have claimed to have been scratched until they bled, which has led to Sallie being dubbed "The Man Hating Ghost".
