Civil War Romance
This home in central Kentucky was given to a young couple as a wedding gift about 140 years ago. When the groom was called away to serve in the Civil War, his bride told him she would not leave the window until he returned. When the soldier arrived home a few years later, he was told that his wife had become ill and died in her sleep. He closed the window and died in the same room of a broken heart. Today, the shutters of that window cannot be opened. The ghosts are also said to cause many traffic accidents in the area.

I grew up in Garrard Co. not far from the house at the 34/27 intersection. I went to school at Camp **** Robinson across the road(the old school not the new one there now) and some of my school mates lived in that house. This house is known as the Camp **** Robinson House and is a very historical place. It was indeed used as a civil war hospital/rest camp. There used to be bullet holes in some of the walls way back when, but have obviously been remodeled. There have been several accidents at this intersection but none that are related to ghosts. One accident victim was said to have been startled by the reflection of their own headlights(Thinking there was an oncoming vehicle in her lane)The staircase at the window is true so to solve 2 problems,instead of hanging curtains(thus not covering the outside glass)the shutters come into play. As far as hauntings…to each their own opinion.

I’ve lived in Jessamine County all my life, I’m 20 now, and I’ve never heard of this house before. I don’t doubt it’s existence though. I would not doubt that I’ve driven by it before. I take I27 to get to Danville…OHHHHHHH! Duh, after you pass Rocky Top, the road that leads to Lake Herrington, and Bob’s Diner…Yes, that is Gerrard County and I’ve seen the house, but as a ghost hunter it has never given me an odd vibe or chills that I can remember. Thanks for the note though:)

I have lived near this house for almost 20 years. I have never been inside the home but like everyone else have heard countless stories regarding the reasons for the closed shutters. I can tell you that I only remember the shutters on the house being open twice and in both instances a car accident occured which leads me to belive the reflection from the window had some involvement thus the shutters being closed again. The stories are very interesting though.

Someone lives there. It’s actually a pretty nice house. It’s at the intersection of 27 and 34 in Garrard county right across from a gas station. It’s a red brick house with an iron gate. Right on the road, can’t miss it. (and the lower right window is boarded up)

Britt, do you know if it’s haunted like the stories tell, and do you know the people that own it, thank you by the way for the info.

No, I don’t know who lives there. I have heard the stories my whole life but none were first hand experiences. They would always say that an accident would occur there if the shutters were off, but I’m sure accidents happen at that intersection all the time so that could just be a coincidence. I’ve only seen the shutters off once in my life and that was years ago when I was in highschool. A friend of mine got into a fender bender there at that time, but she was 16 and talking on her cell at the time so I really don’t think ghosts had anything to do with it.

Thank you Brit for the info, i totaly agree about your friends fender bender. I did some digging and found out that during the cival War that spot had a house that was used to house the wounded and some have passed, so im not sure at what point the house was converted to a brick house but thats ok, thank you agian for the info.

Listen people. I have owned this house for a few years now. You all have not been in my house since i have owned it/lived here. You have no idea what goes on in this house. The previous owners said they had to board the window up, but would never tell my husband and I the explanation. Numerous things have been placed on this rusty colored spot in this smaller bedroom, everytime i walk out of this room i leave the door open so some of the musty odor can escape. When i walk out of the room the door is somehow slammed shut and my thinkgs are thrown against the wall. My husband and I have had several encounters with these “entities”. We have been sitting on the couch and lamps have been THROWN off of my tables. Not to mention the ALL of the other encounters that we have had. Thank goodness we have no children to observe this. Otherwise we would have aold and moved a long time ago. Thanks to all for making it look like my house is responsible for all of these car accidents. I have recieved numerous phone calls and letters in the mail obtaining to try to pursue the suing of me and my husband. Even though no wrecks have happened while we have lived here. No one has come to our door to notify us of this; i guess they are afraid. If anyone would like to visit, you are more than welcome. Thanks to all!

feel free to just show up if you don’t mind. there’s no need for a phone number. Personally, i would rather not go through all of the trouble of making up an e-mail. this is a fake one. i just saw where you all were talking about my house.

I know someone who used to live in that house across from bp. She would tell me of things she heard. Really the only thing she ever heard was a man sobbing constantly at all hours of the night and day. She left and went to college and only comes back to the house for family gatherings etc.

No a woman was standing in that room watching her son get on the bus. In was in winter. Then suddenly a car had hit him, and killed him. And we cannot use that room now.

The reason that the shutters are there is because of the stairwell that came from the second floor. They added a false window so it didnt look strange from the outside. Everyone in the area has heard of this. I wish it where true because I am a ghost hunter my self but it is not. I know the people that live here so… sorry to bust the bubble.
