The Story
In the house’s treasure legend, Nathan Wilson guarded a chest of family gold during a yellow-fever outbreak but died before revealing its whereabouts. Southern Spirit Guide reports that his apparition sometimes appears around the property and, in some tellings, leads witnesses toward the hidden fortune. The gold and guiding ghost remain unverified local lore.
