One guest has reported being woken up early in the morning by the smell of muffins, peanut butter and cookies. The guest also smelled bourbon and Rose perfume in the air. These accommodating ghosts have also been heard walking up and down the main staircase. Doors opened of their own accord and apparitions have been seen appearing on windows.
Other guests have reported hearing the disembodied sound of a crying baby. The door of the laundry room would also shut and open by itself. Guests and in particular, brides and grooms were surprised to find that their holiday snaps have orbs in them. Photos taken in front of the fireplace reveal tongues of flame even when there was no fire when the picture was taken. Two glasses in the bathroom exploded spontaneously and a female guest reported seeing the ghost of a Civil War soldier staring out of the window.
