Rocky Hill Castle

  • Rocky Hill Castle is an abandoned antebellum mansion up in Lawrence Co. Col. Saunders hired a French architect to build the house, but he went way over budget. (Some things never change.) When the Colonel saw the huge bill he got angry and refused to pony up the extra. The architect stormed off, swearing to shake the damn house off its very foundation, and just swearing in general. He died not too long after, and the family began hearing loud knocks and bangs. A year or so before the Civil War, Col. Saunders had a massive six-story tower added on to the house. It clashed horrendously, but since when have men cared about that? During the war, two young Confederate soldiers died in the tower. Neither of them are said to haunt the property, but during Reconstruction a new ghost appeared. She's a beautiful young woman who hangs around the tower and in the wine cellar. She wears a lovely pale blue dress, and never says or does much of anything. But the one time she did speak to Mrs. Saunders, she managed to scare the whole family away.
