Is The Brickhouse Inn haunted? The simple answer is - we don't know! We don't think there's a resident ghost. Legend says that two or three Confederates were killed in the Welty House. so who knows. If your interest is in ghosts check out our packages for evening walking tours and an exclusive driving tour.
