The Full Story

Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who guided the distillery through Prohibition by selling "medicinal" bourbon, died at Stony Point mansion in 1959 but never left. Security guards see his ghost and hear voices in his former meeting room. Warehouse C, dating to the late 1800s, is the most haunted - tour guides hear heavy boots walking above them but find no one there. Security guard Zack Evans saw an old man in worker's clothing every day for a week, but surveillance footage showed no one was there.
