THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The historic Oatlands estate is associated with several spirits believed to be former residents and enslaved workers. Visitors have reported apparitions, unexplained footsteps, voices, and unusual activity throughout the mansion and gardens.
Oatlands Plantation was once a 3,500-acre wheat and wool producer with over seven dozen slaves. Now a historic site of only 260 acres, the 1804 manor house museum is rumored to be home to a few spirits. Doors are said to randomly lock on their own, and witnesses and paranormalists have described footsteps, voices, and an unexplained scent of roses upstairs.
