BALDWIN HOUSE
1022 Crawford St. Vicksburg, MS 39180
UP TO SEVEN DIFFERENT SPIRITS have been documented at the
Baldwin House in Vicksburg, Mississippi, (formerly known as the Baldwin
House Restaurant) but there are three that are most common: Aunt Gertrude,
the Funeral Lady, and Uncle Charley. Aunt Gertrude lived on the 2nd floor in
the 1920′s - she has been seen standing at the top of the stairs, and can be heard
walking across the wooden 2nd floor when no one is upstairs. No one knows
why, but she won’t come downstairs.
The funeral lady is a woman dressed in black, old-fashioned clothes. The
most dramatic appearance of the funeral lady happened when a waiter
answered a knock on the door to find the lady standing there. He thought that
she must be a part of one of the local tour homes or something similar because of
her period costume. He brought her in to show her a table, and although she had
walked in behind him, when he turned around she was gone.
