The Full Story

The "Gray Lady" is Kentucky's most famous ghost. Margaretta Varick came to visit her niece in 1817 but died just three days after arriving. By 1822, family members reported seeing "old Aunt Varick" in ghostly form. In the 1880s, Mary Mason "Mame" Scott awoke three nights in a row to find a tall, gray-veiled figure at the foot of her bed. A 1965 photograph captured a vaporous figure on the stairs. Two other ghosts - a Spanish opera singer who vanished in the garden in 1805 and a British soldier from 1812 - also haunt the grounds.
