"In October 2008, a team of psychics toured the Rossetter House, the Roesch House, and the Houston Family Cemetery. Join us for an exciting tour where we will share with you the "impressions" that the psychics told us they received on this historic property.
This Ghost Tour is for entertainment purposes only.
Bring your camera - you never know who might show up!"
Jillian is the site manager of the Rossetter Museum on Highland Avenue in Eau Gallie, Florida. My great grandparents home, the Roesch House now serves as the museums headquaters where my ancestors pictures hang on the parlor wall.

Jillian told me that the psychics told her that a woman died in the Roesch upstairs bedroom. I told her no, that was not the case. My great grandmother Ada died in their farmhouse on Aurora Road in Eau Gallie and their daughter, my great Aunt Lena died in Titusville. The Rossetters purchased the Roesch house and used it for storage.

It was said that Susan E. Houston Stewart was laid to rest beneath the ancient oaks of the family plot in 1909. According to old family records, "she carved her own tombstone of coquina rock".
I recently discovered through old newspaper articles of the time that Susan Houston Stewart, who married John Carroll Houston IV, have three children buried here beside her. I have passed that information on to the Historical Society.
