Governor Quitman, the first occupant of the plantation was said to have
suffered a long and painful death. It is believed that he died as a result of being

poisoned by abolitionists in Washington D.C. The governor made his presence
felt to the current owners during the period of restoration. He would stomp

around the hallways and other areas inside the mansion all day long. Staff and

workers at the hotel have also heard heavy footfalls which start in the attic and
go downward into the mansion.

Guests have reported being checked upon by Quitman in their rooms. A
patron staying in Room 30 awoke to see the entity of the governor dressed in

Civil War military uniform, walking to the foot of his bed and suddenly

vanishing.
