Annabelle began as a family gift in a garden district. Around 1868, John Alexander Klein — son of Vicksburg forefather William Alexander Klein — built the Victorian-Italianate house at 501 Speed Street on the family's Cedar Grove estate for his son Madison Conrad Klein. It is one of the last surviving homes the Kleins built for their children, in the cluster the city calls its Historic Garden District; an 1881 guest house with a fifty-five-foot gallery overlooks the Mississippi valley behind it.
By the early 2000s the house was a bed-and-breakfast with a reputation. The haunting catalog is unusually specific: a one-legged Confederate soldier said to occupy what was then called the Dixie Room — the room names changed under later management — and a female presence in the Rose Room announced, guests reported, by the smell of rose-scented powder. Other reports put movement on the main stairwell. When the family put the house up for sale in 2023, the owner's son told reporters that paranormal crews including the Ghost Adventures team had visited and confirmed activity — and added, in the same breath, that he himself had never had any interaction with the spirits and was 'a hard one to believe in that.'

THE FILE'S VERDICT
That quote is the dossier in miniature: a documented 1868 mansion, a shelf of reported apparitions, and an owner willing to sell the ghosts without claiming to have met them. The research notes remind the reader that chronology and current conditions want independent enrichment; the claims stay filed where the sources put them, as reported experience in a house that has been collecting guests for a century and a half.
