Summary

The Ramsey House has also been known as Swan Pond and is located in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was built by a prominent man in the town, Colonel Francis Alexander Ramsey in the late 1700s. The house has a unique stone look to it and was the main home on a plantation that was held by the Ramseys until the Civil War. Today, it is a historic museum on 101 acres that includes gardens and a visitor center. And apparently this is still home to several family members in the afterlife. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Ramsey House! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Bill Richardson and features The Great Windham Frog Fight and This Month in History features Guess Who's Coming to Dinner debuts. Our location was suggested by Tammie Burroughs.

1:13.2	Benay Ramsey House, which is what comes to my mind when I hear that name. Yeah.
