The Story
Rotherwood’s Lady in White is identified in local stories as Rowena Ross, searching by the Holston River for a lost sweetheart. Haunted Places also describes an unsettling laugh attributed to later owner Joshua Phipps. These are two strands of the mansion’s folklore; the tragic biographies are not independently established by the haunting entry.
