The General Lewis Inn features at least three ghosts - a woman in white, a little girl, and a slave.
The inn was once a private home, built in 1834. During the early 1860s, the Civil War took a heavy toll on the area - and may have contributed to the ghost population.
A lady in white (the most popular dress color for ghosts, it seems) haunts Room 208 - fittingly enough, because her portrait hangs in that room.
The little girl has been heard, both crying and laughing, though not simultaneously, in Rooms 206 and 208, as well as Suite 202. Paranormal investigators who slept in the suite reported waking in the night to see a girl in a brown outfit standing next to the bed.
The slave, who is named Reuben, was hanged on the spot where the dining room now stands. He has been seen sitting at the table. Those curious to see him might decide to eat every meal at the inn.
