Greenwood Plantation
Greenwood is a towering Greek Revival mansion ringed by 28 white columns, built in 1830 by William Ruffin Barrow on antebellum wealth that endured through the Civil War. In 1960 a lightning strike burned the original house to the ground, leaving only the brick columns and chimneys standing before it was rebuilt to the original specifications from photographs and surviving foundations.
Now a bed-and-breakfast that has appeared in films, it carries a long-standing haunted reputation. The most frequently reported apparition is a lady in a flowing white dress who walks the grounds and vanishes when approached.
Visitors also describe a young boy believed to have lived on the estate, sudden chills in certain rooms, the parlor piano playing on its own, and security cameras that occasionally catch unexplained moving light at night.
