History of the Beauregard Keyes House



Pat explores the history of the house and those that lived there, including the most famous residents, Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard and Frances Parkinson Keyes.



The Debate



Pat and Rebecca debate if the house is haunted. Staff and visitors have reported hauntings since at least the 1980s. Ghosts include Civil War soldiers, Beauregard himself, a woman in white, Keyes’s dog Lucky, a cat named Caroline, and a party in the ballroom. Is it haunted?
