Restored house recalls old Villisca slayings

Full story: Chicago Tribune

As the article seems to suggest, the Moore murder house never had a history of paranormal activity until it was purchased and restored by a local museum. One of the films alluded to above is called "Villisca: Living with a Mystery," and it features a computer-animated walk-through of the crime scene as it was found on June 10, 1912 - the morning the murders were discovered.

Was there paranormal activity before the house was restored? I read about 2 stores way back, but I don't know how true they are.
