CEDAR GROVE MANSION,

Vicksburg, MS

ORIGINALLY THE HOME OF JOHN and Elizabeth Klein, it was also the

site of some of the family’s deaths. One of their sons was killed on the back porch

stairs when a gun accidentally went off – he was just 17 years old – and a
daughter and two young infants died here as well, with their deaths attributed

to disease. John Klein enjoyed pipe smoking, and near his study the smell of a
pipe is often caught. Elizabeth has frequently been seen throughout the house,

acting as if she’s simply carrying out her usual day to day chores. The apparition

of a little girl has also been seen coming down the main stairs, and footsteps on
the back porch stairs have also been heard. Apart from activity linked to the

family, many guests have reported seeing Civil War soldiers throughout the
house and grounds – hardly surprising since the house was also a hospital during

the Civil War.
