Waverley Plantation

Waverley is a National Historic Landmark house near West Point, built in 1852 by Colonel George Hampton Young on a cotton plantation of tens of thousands of acres. It stood in decline until Robert and Madonna Snow bought it in 1962 and began restoring it. The house is known for stories of a woman's and a child's voice, a little girl's handprints appearing on fogged windows, a Civil War soldier, and a man in black on a phantom horse, along with orbs in photographs. The Snow family has described the spirits as mostly harmless and welcoming. It was built and worked by enslaved people.
