The Story
Esther is the name attached to Southern Mansion's most familiar reported spirit in HauntedPlaces.org. Guests describe her laughter, the swish of a dress and perfume with no visible wearer. Another story places a soldier walking across the ballroom, giving the mansion two distinct strands of apparition lore. The name Esther follows the account; personal identity not independently established.
