Is Oakmont Bed and Breakfast haunted?
The record holds 1 claim, 1 legend — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Oakmont, at 107 Pickens Street in Eutaw, was built in 1908 as a wedding gift for Mary Elizabeth and Charles Alexander Webb — a Black Belt town house from the era when Eutaw's streets filled with the cotton money of Greene County. The house stood as a private residence for most of a century before its second life as a bed and breakfast.
The haunting file opens with that conversion. It was only once workers began restoring Oakmont for guests, the account goes, that the house began answering back.
The heater, and the rest
The signature story is the thermostat. Restoration workers repeatedly found the heat turned on in the empty house; they taped the control knob so it could not be switched, and reportedly found the heat on again anyway. After the restoration, the accounts broaden into the familiar register — tremendous crashes in unoccupied rooms, disembodied footsteps — collected in Terry Smith and Mark Jean's Haunted Inns of America.
Whether the enterprise outlasted its ghosts is uncertain: the guide's own note suggests the bed and breakfast had ceased trading, and the file's research notes leave its present use unconfirmed. What the archive records is narrower — a documented 1908 house, a named wedding, and a cluster of reports filed, as all such reports are filed here, as accounts rather than events.
