THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The mansion's most famous spiritual presence is Tom the Butler, a friendly, loyal apparition. Staff and visitors routinely hear his heavy, disembodied footsteps and spot a gentleman in 19th-century attire standing near the top of the grand staircase.
Architect John S. Norris built this house in 1850; it was the home of William and Juliette Gordon Low. It is now a house museum. If you pay a visit, listen closely as you tour the historic home. Both guests and workers have witnessed the sound of unexplained footsteps. The staff attributes the sounds to “Old Tom,” the Lows’ longtime butler.
