Rotherwood Mansion
The Rotherwood Mansion, off Netherland Road, is said to be haunted by a young woman who died in the river that runs beside the mansion. Her father, a wealthy land owner, frowned on her love with a soldier, and forbade them ever to see each other. One night before going to war, however, the young soldier came to see his lover. The woman’s brother found them, fought the young soldier, and threw him in the river. The soldier was then swept away with the current. Heartbroken, the women, threw herself into the river to find her beau. She drowned trying. Now it is said that she can be seen, walking along the river at night, carrying a lantern, looking for her lost love. She is said to wear a long white dress, that may be a nightgown.

My high school boyfriend lived in the servants quarters that is connected to the mansion by an underground tunnel. His home was extreamly active. We could hear walking up and down the stairs and we were the only ones home, things would fly off walls and stuff like that. That place is very creepy and active!

We are a paranormal research group that knows that the home is owned and lived in by the owners. there are several different stories about the mansion but there are no investigations allowed there at this time. We are working with a friend of the owners to try and get permission. however there is the Sensabaugh Tunnels not far from there.

I live in kingsport and have never been able to go near the house.My mom told me that when they were younger, they saw a little girl outside holding out her hand and then she vanished.I’ve also heard that Mr. Rotherwood had slaves and when the slaves started getting older and unable 2 work, rotherwood would make them dig their own graves and make another slave shoot them so that they would fall back into the grave.You can hear the sound of someone digging and humming a sad tune when it’s quiet out.

i just read somewhere else that the rotherwood that stands today is not the original rotherwood. the rotherwood talked about with Rowena and Phipps is the original. Phipps died in 1861, four years later, Rotherwood burned down. The Rotherwood we see today, Rotherwood II, is s short distance south of the first. I could be wrong, but i think it would explain why the current owner has had no personal experiences.

Ive heard of the Rotherfood Mansion story and it wasnt this. The one I heard was that he gave the girl a promise ring, went out to war, she though he was dead, she never ate anything, her father thought she was dead, barried her with the ring, some grave steal digged up her grave and stole her ring, she was still alive just unconsious, the next day went to her fathers door and scratched but she died a couple hours later and her husband was actually alive and all of this happened in the winter and plus now every one who lives there has to spend there winter in the holidays because they hear scratching at their door everynight and it never stops
