When planning a vacation, the hotel is typically an afterthought. However, some hotels are so unique, they’re the highlight of a vacation – and that’s definitely the case with Duff Green Mansion. The historic hotel is well over 100 years old, but that’s not its only notable characteristic. There’s also the fact that its notoriously haunted. Take a look:
Duff Green Mansion can be found in Vicksburg, which is fitting since the city is no stranger to eerie tales and supernatural happenings.
Considering the home’s past, its spectral reputation makes sense. In addition to being used as a hospital during the Civil War, the mansion served as an orphanage and headquarters for the Salvation Army.
As the story goes, the Dixie Room served as a makeshift operating room during the Civil War, where hundreds of amputations occurred. Apparently one of the patients never left, as the ghost of a Confederate soldier with an amputated leg has been spotted in the mansion.
The ghost of Annie, the Green family’s youngest daughter, is another of the mansion’s phantom residents.
Annie died in the mansion from yellow fever. She was just 6-years-old at the time. The "ghost of little Annie Green" has been seen by guests on several occasions.
The stairwell seems to be another supernatural hot spot within the mansion.
On several occasions, an apparition in a uniform has been spotted by the front door – and that’s in addition to a woman in a blue gown roaming around the kitchen at night.
