The Story

Soldier apparitions reportedly stand guard at doorways and appear on the balconies of the Wornall House. HauntedPlaces.org connects the haunting tradition with its Civil War hospital role near the Battle of Westport. The story suggests watchful military figures rather than one identified resident ghost. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
