At this bed-and-breakfast inn, as the name implies built in 1895, builder Mr. Tarlton himself is said to wander in spirit. Rumor has it that he hanged himself on floor 3 after his second wife died. Witnesses have heard his footsteps and felt cool gusts of wind on their faces. There are journals in each room where guests can write about anything strange that happened during their stay.

My great uncle and his wife used to own and run the Tarlton House when I was a little kid (maybe 10 years ago; Mr and Mrs Lovelace), and myself and two of my cousins would play in that third story room and bathroom and would experience little paranormal activities that I guess we didnt understand at the time. It’s making more sense to me now.
Hey Erika,
My group is scouting locations to film for our paranormal history show. The house is stunning and sounds like there is a great history behind it. I am trying to get in contact with the current owners, would you happen to know who that may be or how I can contact them?
Hey, Michelle, I live nearby this town and haven’t heard anything about this bed & breakfast, and a quick Google search told me that it was no longer open.
We just drove by this house and it’s still open. There was lights on.
If your group ever needs an experienced psychic please let me know. I am clairsentient and am an empath. Thanks.
*CLOSED* – Drove up here hoping to spend the night and it’s all boarded up with No Trespassing signs
