Summary

Step into the shadows of Lilian Place, the oldest—and most haunted—house in Daytona Beach. Built in 1884, this Victorian landmark is more than just a museum—it’s a dwelling for the dead. Behind its creaking doors and flickering lights are whispers of tragedy, mystery, and spirits that refuse to move on.

Locals speak of Lucy, a woman in white who drifts silently through the halls. Children’s laughter echoes when no children are present. Doors open on their own. Lights turn on without reason. And in one bedroom, visitors have reported seeing a man resembling writer Stephen Crane, who once recovered there after a near-fatal shipwreck—perhaps he left more behind than just a story. Is Lilian Place a historic treasure, or a gathering place for the dead? Join us as we uncover the eerie past—and restless present—of Daytona’s most infamous haunted home.

Today on the Grave Talks, The Ghosts of Lilian Place, a conversation with John Dillard, president of the Heritage Preservation Trust. This is Part Two of our conversation.
