The Deason Home in Ellisville, Mississippi is described as haunted, with numerous paranormal reports, including disembodied voices, a bloodstain that appeared after the 1863 assassination of Major Amos McLemore in the home, an antique chair that rocks by itself, and apparitions of a woman in period clothing. The house is associated with the assassination of Confederate Major Amos McLemore, who was killed by Newton Knight. Visitors and investigators have reported hearing a woman's hysterical voice saying "Buddy, there's somebody in the attic" and a man's voice saying "Mine". Following the assassination of Major McLemore in the home, a bloodstain on the floor reportedly seeped through the boards and has been a persistent paranormal sign. An antique chair in the house is said to rock on its own. A woman dressed in gray period clothing has been seen in the home. Other phenomena reported include cellphone batteries dying, doors opening by themselves on the anniversary of McLemore's death, and electrical equipment operating unpredictably. Built in 1845, the house was the home of one of the wealthiest men in the region, Amos Deason. During the Civil War, Major Amos McLemore was shot and killed in the Deason home on October 5, 1863, while rounding up deserters. Newton Knight is believed to have been the one who pulled the trigger, according to some reports.
