The Beall-Dawson House is considered a haunted location due to reports of apparitions, unseen presences, and unexplained phenomena like moving objects and cold spots. The hauntings are often linked to the Beall family, specifically the original builder Upton Beall, his wife Jane, and their three daughters—Jane, Matilda, and Margaret—who lived in the house for many years. Visitors and staff have reported seeing apparitions and a general feeling of being watched. Guests have experienced unexplained sensations, such as cold breezes in closed rooms or the feeling of a constant presence. There are accounts of objects being moved or rearranged by unseen hands, including furniture and dresser drawers. Reports include the sound of indistinct voices or even a loud piano playing from an empty room. The house was built by Upton Beall in 1815 and he lived there until his death in 1827. His wife and their three daughters—Jane, Matilda, and Margaret—continued to live in the house for decades. The three Beall daughters never married and remained in the mansion until their deaths, continuing to manage the family's property and the people they enslaved.
