The Drish House in Tuscaloosa is haunted by the ghosts of its original owners, John and Sarah Drish, with reported phenomena including "Death Lights" in the tower, where Sarah Drish allegedly took her own life after being disappointed that the candles used at her husband's wake were not burned at her funeral. Other reported hauntings include faint footsteps, the smell of roses (associated with Sarah's love of gardening), a mysterious figure seen by a window, a rush of cold air, and a child's presence turning on water. Sarah Drish is said to haunt the tower, where she died after jumping from it, due to a broken dying wish. Her ghost is believed to cause the "Death Lights" seen from outside the house. John Drish, who died from a fall down the stairs while drunk, is also said to haunt the house. Visitors and paranormal investigators have reported the smell of roses, attributed to Sarah Drish's passion for gardening. A rush of cold wind has been experienced in the bathroom, near where many paranormal events are reported to occur. Some claim to have seen a mysterious figure by the window in the same bathroom. Visitors have reported hearing faint footsteps echoing through the house. A little girl's presence has been sensed, with reports of water turning on in a lady's room. John Drish fell down the stairs in 1867, and a wake was held in his honor with candles burning. Sarah Drish's dying wish was for the same candles to be burned at her funeral, but her request was not fulfilled. She then jumped from the tower, and her frustrated ghost is said to return and cause the "Death Lights" in the tower as an alarm to the neighborhood.
