The Story
The inn’s playful ghost is nicknamed the Colonel, a bearded Confederate soldier whose apparition is sometimes seen only from the waist up. Accounts describe his footsteps, doors closing behind guests and water in a birdbath inexplicably bubbling. Haunted Places presents him as a familiar, generally friendly presence.
