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.

OK, I don’t want to tick anybody off, so… if someone really had died in that fire, why would the ghost need his old body? I believe in ghosts, and I am a christian, cause the bible talks about supernatural things human can’t see… but I do know that a ghost might not need his body… so who cares if the body is missing? Try finding a grave robber, not a spectrum…

I am not sure I believe this has someone actually been in this house to say that it is real? If so please speak up I would love to visit.

Supposedly some Poachers were caught on the island earlier and told not to return back. The poachers came back later on when the Carnegie’s were out of town and the Mansion was set on fire. No one was killed and the Butler escaped.

This has nothing to do with Dungeoness Mansion, but I did have a strange occurrence on Cumberland Island back in January of this year. My girlfriend and I were camping at Stafford Beach. That night we were hanging out at the beach, and we saw a black figure down the beach racing straight towards us. It appeared to be the size of a large animal, and it almost seemed to be gliding rather than running. When it got about 20-50 yards away, it took a 90-degree turn and seemed to just disappear. It freaked us out because we had no explanation for what we saw. I’m not saying it was anything supernatural – most likely it was some kind of animal – but the way it moved and seemed to just vanish make me wonder. Anyone else experience something like this?

One of the most famous estates on the Georgia coast was Dungeness, owned by Revolutionary War hero Gen. Nathaniel Greene, who commanded the Southern Department of the war. While he owned Mulberry Grove Plantation near Savannah, he also planned to build a huge mansion on Cumberland Island near the site of Oglethorpe’s Dungeness hunting lodge. He died in 1786 before he was able to complete his plans. His wife, Catherine, remarried 10 years later to Phineas Miller, and they followed through on Greene’s designs, building a huge, four-story tabby mansion on top of an Indian shell mound. The mansion, with 6-foot thick walls at the base, featured four chimneys and 16 fireplaces, and was surround by 12 acres of gardens. Dungeness was the scene of many special social galas where statesmen and military leaders enjoyed the Millers’ hospitality. When the island was briefly occupied during the War of 1812, the British used Dungeness as their headquarters.
