The Ghost of Seymour Plantation

Louisa Moore, a wealthy middle-aged widow, sold her home in Mobile, AL, and purchased Seymour Plantation in Spanish Fort, on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay. She was told the house was haunted and that no family had spent more than two months in the house during the past 15 years. After moving into the house, she began to hear strange noises, to find furniture moved, and to catch quick glimpses of a man inside her house. One night she woke up to see the silhouette of a man standing over her. Not one time did her security alarm go off; the man never came through her doors or windows. Louisa began to take the ghost rumors seriously and decided to have a face-to-face encounter with her ghost. Her fearless investigations revealed hidden secrets about Seymour Plantation as she solved the mystery surrounding her ghost. More than two chapters of the book are devoted to a discussion of the Battle of Mobile Bay and the surrender of Mobile.
