The Wickland family
Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.
The Wickland family — the Shelbys who produced three Kentucky governors from the 1813 Bardstown mansion — are the house's named presences: the 'home of three governors' lore that ties the reported figures to the portraits still hanging in the parlors. Kentucky's most politically pedigreed haunting. A house with Bardstown's history behind it gives the reports a setting that needs no exaggeration. 'Wickland' carries the account. The named presence is what turns a haunting into a household.
