Is Magnolia Manor Haunted? That certainly has been the subject of much debate. In the past we have been the focus of numerous investigations by many professional and amateur paranormal groups. The Tennessee Ghost Hunters from Nashville were the first and The Memphis-Mid South Ghost Hunters (Formerly The Ghost Stalkers of West Tennessee). Both conclude that Magnolia Manor has more than a few ghosts! The Tennessee Ghost Hunters presented us with a 3 Star Certificate which we proudly display. The Memphis-Mid South Ghost Hunters have also awarded Magnolia Manor their "Certified Haunted" certificate stating that it is indeed a haven for spirits and paranormal activity.

Paranormal Inc. has also spent more than a few nights at Magnolia Manor and they have included this beautiful home in their up coming film GHOSTS of WAR due out in late 2010.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not, Magnolia Manor is an absolute must see to believe home. We find the best way to handle the "ghost question" is just invite you in to decide for yourself. Yes we have stories to tell. Things sometimes do go bump in the night! Sometimes they go bump in broad daylight! Oh and these unexplained occurrences aren't just limited to noises! We have pictures, audio recordings and numerous eye witnesses too.

Are you scared? You shouldn't be! We honestly don't believe there's anything here that would harm you. However, you may see or hear something that could cause you to hurt yourself! Just be careful to walk out  of the house, not run! The stairs can be dangerous if you're in too big of a hurry to leave! In our 20 plus years of operating as a bed & breakfast, only one couple has left in the middle of the night!

So far, we've had guests report noises in the middle of the night. One guest actually saw an apparition at his bed room door and she walked over to where he lay and tugged on his shirt sleeve and then disappeared! He left the room and wouldn't even go back in to get his bags! I guess all that "I don't believe in ghosts" talk before he retired for the evening gave a spirit enough motivation to teach him otherwise!

Elaine has seen and heard things in this beautiful old house that can't be easily explained away. Lights turning on and off by themselves. Doors opening and closing with no one around them. Footsteps of some "heavy person" walking around in an upstairs room with no one upstairs! Even an apparition in the den that floated across the room only to vanish without a trace. There's more! How about an ever growing collection of EVPs! Yes ghosts can be heard responding to questions on audio tape.

To this day we're not sure of the identity of the spirits, but we suspect it's some of the Miller family keeping a careful watch over the old family home. Three generations lived... and died in this house.

Our guest have reported personal paranormal experiences, too many to mention over the years! Magnolia Manor Bed & Breakfast hosts ghost hunting groups and individuals fairly regularly and all have reported finding, seeing or hearing "something" in the house. Many have captured photographic, video or audio anomalies that are not easily explained away.
