THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Built around 1832, the Hunt-Phelan Home has long been linked to reports of ghostly servants and former occupants. Visitors have reported apparitions, footsteps, and unexplained sounds throughout the historic mansion.
Built around 1830, this inn is said to be haunted by a servant of the former owners, the Hunts. Before the Hunts fled the house to escape a yellow fever epidemic in 1873, they entrusted their servant, Nathan Wilson, with a chest of gold to pay for the home’s upkeep. Poor Nathan was found dead of yellow fever in the home shortly thereafter, with muddy boots and a shovel at his side. He had apparently buried the gold to keep it safe, and no one knows where. But to this day, the ghost of a man in 19th-century garb can be seen, and he appears desperate to convey his message to anyone who will listen.
