That’s not in Jessamine County, that’s in Garrard County.

This house is in Garrad County right across from lexington ave and 27 cross or meet and across from the BP. I remember as a little girl my mom telling us that it was haunted.. I have never been in it but I am 33 years old and I have yet to see those shutters ever opened.

The story of the little girl/boy being run over is the same one I have always heard. They said that if the shutters were open you would crash or something crazy like that. I just assumed the people who live there keep it boarded up to keep up the history and just the fun of the ghost story. I think the window being boarded up and closed is uglier than any stairwell would be…if they were just closing it because of an ugly staircase, wouldn’t they just use curtains?

My Dad always told me that a young boy was playing in the road and his mom was watching him from the window when he was struck by a horse and buggy. The boy died and is said to haunt people but I believe that it’s just hte light shining from drivers lights.

The house across from BP is actually in garrard county. I had heard things about the house and asked my sister who lives right down the road about it. She knew the woman that lived there and asked her about the stories and she just laughed. She said historically, the room was actually a slaves room where the shutters are closed and sealed off. I forgot what the reason was but it had nothing to do with ghosts. sorry

I use to work at the Bp Station across from the house everyone is talkin about. The shutters on the front of the house is closed because that is a closet now. Back during the War it was the hospital for the wounded. The owners of the house have lived there since 1992 till now. They have never seen any paranormal activity there. That can’t be the same house everyone thinks it is!?!?!

I agree with the prior posts regarding the house in Garrard County at the three-way intersection and the remodeling . . .
A friend of mine’s family new the owners [I'm not sure if it's former orcurrent] but she said that the family had renovated/remodeled the home and after it was completed, a stairwell was located behind that window and rather than having a view of the stairwell from behind the window, they chose to close the shutters.
I was totally bummed when I heard this, though–haha.

Years ago, probably 20 years, I was coming home to Lexington from Russell Springs. While driving up HWY33 before getting to HWY27 I looked to my left into a large field area and witnessed (to me) what looked like a ghost. There was no fog in the area at that time but that is what it appeared to look like. Just a large clump of fog moving through the pasture. I almost slowed to a stop while watching this. I’ve known about the house with closed shutter across from the BP Station and have to wonder if there was any connection between the two. I have always been afraid to tell this story because I thought people may think I’m nuts, but it happened and it was very, very real!

I heard the story and saw the house a minute after that. It’s Garrard County, not Jessamine. The window in question is on the bottom right. What a curiosity peaking ghost story!!!!!!! I hope more people post here about it!
