The Baker House is a beautiful Queen Anne Victorian home built by A.E. Colburn in 1898. This quaint old home is located on the corner of Fifth and Main Streets in downtown North Little Rock 's Historic Argenta District. A. E. Colburn was a black man that achieved wealth as a jockey in England and returned to the United States to build his retirement home in Argentina (An early name for North Little Rock ). Mr. Colburn mysteriously disappeared soon after the grand home's construction. He had been strongly discouraged from living in his new house because of his race. The house changed hands many times until, after falling into some disrepair, a local physician purchased the home and restored it to past glories. The house was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1978.

We were allowed to stay in the house for the purpose of revealing the truth behind many rumors of paranormal activities. We had hoped to witness the moving of the buffet in the ornate dining room, see the window open in an upstairs bedroom or see the apparition that roams the central stairway. With all of our equipment in place, we began our investigation. Although we did not witness the previously mentioned activities we did see and feel the spirits of the house. We logged at least two separate entities. One was a young girl that apparently died of a respiratory illness in one of the upstairs bedrooms and the other a man that died in the house of an unknown cause. This entity complained of a severe pain in his back, could this have been Mr. Colburn? Our investigation ended and we concluded that indeed there are ghosts residing in the Baker House.
