I know that deaths occurred in the house (from its days as a hospital) but they would be buried at the confederate cemetery. We know a child died in the house and is buried in our cemetery. We found the cemetery, a fenced off portion of the property that we previously assumed was some sort of kennel or aviary, and confirmed with the local historical society that is in a cemetery. We found two numbered cast iron markers (indicative of the graves of slaves or servants) with the metal detector and stopped digging out of respect (read fear). The cemetery is large enough to possibly fit the graves of 7-8 adults. Not sure though that the child would be buried in the same area as that's not how things were done in the 1860s
Is there a way you can look up the history of your house. It sounds interesting.0 -

I feel like you should go down to the local county store and ask the old guy in the rocking chair what he knows.

I know you are in the south, Georgia? On an old plantation, right? I have a really good friend that just sold his house which was near Savannah and an old plantation last year because he had so many occurrences happen while he was there that he couldn't do it anymore. The last few really scared him, he won't even talk about them in detail. I am not trying to scare you at all, I just find it all super interesting and I wish I knew more about the house he owned.0 -

Savannah is crazy as *kitten*. I was going there last fall but a damn hurricane ruined that.1 -
My friend maintains it is the most haunted city in the U.S., he figured out quickly why he got such a great deal on his house! I don't remember exact numbers but it was close to a million dollar house and he got for around 500K... I didn't ask what he sold it for. He is a bachelor and had so many rooms, obviously, that he would take on tenants, they never lasted long. He only had one friend that lived with him the whole time but he was ready to move when my friend was as well. There were rooms in the house that the dog wouldn't even go near.0

Yes to both. And I absolutely believe that your friend was having things go on in his. Thing is, my house was built in 1851 and we are only the 5th owners. People stayed in this house, the last owner stayed for for almost 60 years, 30 of them widowed and all by herself.
Oh! Wow! She was a tough old bird! I know my friend's house was also mid 1800's but I just don't know enough to say much more other than he has a lot of stories he did tell but some he won't.0 -

We've been here 7 months so far. I haven't experienced anything that makes me want to leave. Mostly just what the actual *kitten*?
I hope it stays that way!0 -
Today I was waiting or a guy to get off the bench and I guess I was staring bc he's like, excuse me do yoi need help? And I told him I just needed the bench to give me a boost to reach the pullup bar (bc I'm like 3 feet tall). He stood up and I thought he was gonna slide the bench over, but he just walked over and picked me up so I can reach the bar and continued curling with the other arm like wtf ew dont touch me and also how do I get down
Weirdesttt thing that has ever happened to me I'm still trying to process what happened0 -
