Legends and ghost stories
The plantation estate has been featured in Ghost Hunters off season episode “Ghosts of the Confederacy”. The plantation house is rumored to be on top of an ancient Tunica Indian burial ground and is supposedly home to 18 ghosts. During the 1877 uprising sparked by the American Civil War the slaves overtook over the main house and murdered 6 confederate ground keepers. Allegedly after the death of William Drew Winter, the head grounds keeper, he staggered inside the house and died trying to climb the stairs. He died on the 17th step of the stairs. To the present day, visitors, still hear his dying footsteps.[3]
