Uncle Charley reportedly rented a back room in the house, and is usually
seen outside, sometimes looking in through a window.
A very strange sighting has been that of many Confederate soldiers milling
around in front of the house. It is so pronounced, in fact, that when the staff
looked outside one day and saw the group, they naturally assumed that the group
was rein-actors who were about to come in and eat. They quickly set about
dashing around to prepare for such a huge group, then looked out to see them
marching away - through one downstairs corner of the building, and off to the
back of the Pemberton House, where they faded away. That’s where General
Pemberton headquartered, and these are possibly his troops making a familiar
journey to make camp there.
