Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Dungeon

Cumberland Island, Georgia

A wealthy couple and their friends were in the midst of a huge dinner party when suddenly, the house burst into flames. Everyone managed to escape except the owner of the mansion. After a large funeral service, the victim’s charred remains were laid to rest. The house was abandoned, but a few weeks later, man was seen having another dinner party. As the house burned for a second time, several went to inspect the scene and found the man’s body�again. When investigators went to see if the body was still in the casket, it was gone. Since that time, visitors have reported mysterious sights and sounds at the mansion.

This story is completely off and hilariously dramatic. First of all it is dungeness, not dungeon. Second of all, cumberland island is owned by the national park service, you have to go to St Marys GA to get there by ferry. You can camp and see the wild horses, and do all the camping stuff. The house was built by I think the rockefellers, maybe the vanderbilts. It was one of those well known ultra rich families from the turn of the century. They abandoned it because they didnt want to pay the newly installed property taxes. The house had been abandoned for years when it did burn down sometime in the fifties. Nobody died in the fire, now the house is just a shell that you can look at when you visit the island. Makes me wonder who the person was who wrote this.

HERE IS THE TRUE STORY!!! The true owner’s of the house were makers of an elixer that had made them millions of dollars. Their family name was “Spunkworthy”, an old welsh family. Their porduct was called “Ye old Spunkworthy’s Wack Off Cream”. and then their house burned down. My friend, Abu Saeed, says so.

JESSICA is a LIAR. It is on the State Park and she NEVER lived “next to it”…The state would NOT let anyone live next to a burnt down home that was on state owned land.

Maybe she meant to tell everyone that she got some **** next to it and suck some guy off in a tent (and their 4 friends too.) But one thing is for sure, SHE DID NOT LIVE THERE so don’t believe her.

Actually there are people that DO live next to Dungeoness at a place called The Grange.

I do believe the part where some people have said that the house did burn down once and that the people may have been rich. Though that **** about the family eating dinner and all these ghost. Come on.

Dungeness is a reaaly nice place to go, but no ghosts.
The mansion did burn down they tried to rebuild what damage had been donebut it caught fire again. They say the carnigie family was cursed kinda like the kennedy curse no big deal

This is not true. I’ve visited Cumberland Island for probably the last ten years, and there is no such haunting. Aside from that, that is NOT what really happened to that mansion.

The house was built as a vacation home by the Carnegie family. For what it’s worth, nobody died in the fire. The only one in the house was the butler, and he escaped. Besides, you’re forbidden to try to even GET into the house, it’s so old and ramshackle. And it IS Dungeness, not Dungeon.
