Kenworthy Hall's Heartbreaking Tale

Tucked back on old state highway outside or Marion, Alabama stands Kenworthy Hall, one of the most unusual antebellum mansions in the American South. Rising above the Alabama Black Belt with its looming four-story tower, red-brick walls, and almost castle-like silhouette, the old estate feels less like a plantation home and more like something pulled from a gothic novel... and maybe it would make a good setting for such, as for generations, locals have claimed that tower is haunted by the spirit of a heartbroken young woman who still appears at its windows on foggy nights, staring out across the countryside and mourning a future stolen from her during the Civil War.
