The Bottom Line:
This lovely
guest house in the historic Garden District is also home to a few "permanent"
guests.
The Story:
Reports are that a little girl who drowned in the pond behind
the house still wanders the grounds. She is often spotted wearing a white
dress and is barefoot. She is seen throughout the surrounding neighborhood,
presumably in search of her mother. Guests report a feeling of brushing
against bare legs (especially women), beds bouncing up and down, and the
sound of bare feet running down the hallway.
The Haunting:
Another ghost
was a servant who was emplyed as a gentleman's gentleman. He is a light-skinned
black man who is known as the "translucent man" because he is
often seen out of the corner of an eye or in a glimpse of a mirror. In
life, he is known to have been fluent in several languages, loved wine,
women and song, and loved pranks. He is curious about technology and will
often play with televisions, microwaves, ceiling fans and lights.
