Haunted Piano of Mountain Brook, Alabama

Dr. William Jordan who lived just outside of Birmingham, Alabama, purchased a piano for his kids to play as they were growing up.  He had the desire to learn how to play himself, but never had the opportunity given his busy schedule.  However, in his later years, he managed to learn and churn out a couple of tunes.  There are some that say even though Dr. Jordan is long gone he can still be heard playing the piano on certain nights.

An old piano in the Old Brower Home in Mountain Brook, Alabama is said to play tunes on it's own in the middle of the night.

Recent residents of Dr. Jordan's home which is now known as the Old Brower Home in Mountain Brook, settled into the house and made themselves comfortable.  Except for certain evenings when the sounds of the piano that was left in the house when they took over could be heard.  Family members report hearing "Maple Leaf Rag" and "Stars and Stripes Forever" emanating from the old Steinway piano.  When they investigate, no one is sitting at the piano, yet it sounds as if it is being played.  Those two songs are heard being repeated over and over.

Upon further investigating the piano and the former owner, it turns out that Dr. Jordan, in his elderly years learned to play only two tunes on the Steinway, "Stars and Stripes Forever" and "Maple Leaf Rag".
