The Story
At Clarendon's courthouse, local lore focuses on a woman called Mabel and sounds of distress attributed to her in the basement. HauntedPlaces.org links the story with the Orr murder episode and reports unusual lights near the levee. Research/access context: Its retelling contains historical problems, including anachronistic language about slavery, so those details are not adopted as established context. The supported inclusion is the courthouse's documented reputation in paranormal storytelling. Further historical verification is needed before presenting the identities, legal proceedings or chronology as fact.
