With all the death and tragedy that has occurred at the Wheatland Plantation, we’d be surprised if it wasn’t haunted. The home that currently stands there is the second structure to be built on the site, as the first burned to the ground just after Christmas in 1825 with four young children inside. There’s also a burial ground underneath the property, which allegedly holds the bones of 28 Cherokees, at least 68 African slaves, and two Revolutionary War soldiers. That might explain the chanting and singing that ghost hunters often report and have even recorded. That, along with the blood smears still visible on the walls (from one of 70 murders to take place in the house), should make for a frightening visit.
