History:

Though construction began in 1860 for Hugh Mercer, the Civil War halted construction. Mercer sold the incomplete mansion soon after. It fell into disrepair in the mid-1900s before Jim Williams renovated the property. The house has become famous for the death of hustler Danny Hansford and the events written in the non-fiction novel, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Hauntings:

Jim Williams seems to still host his famous parties in the museum. The sounds of merriment have been heard on the anniversary of his final party. Allegedly, Danny's ghost played a part in Jim's death.
