Haunted Plantations of the South

Profiles of over 90 plantations of the American south and the ghosts that roam their stately halls

---

When you hear the word plantations, most people think of grand homes with pillars and sweeping staircases. These houses of grandeur were located all through the South in the days before the Civil War, and there are some that still resonate with the loveliness they had in their heyday. These majestic homes have a long history, and some of those who lived in these homes remain today. The ghosts of soldiers, slaves, and the elite family who lived in the plantation homes still wander the halls. Richard Southall explores gorgeous plantation homes and those that are abandoned and in decay to present a colourful history of the ghosts that linger.
