The Windsor Ruins are a historic site near Port Gibson, Mississippi, known for their haunted reputation and the 23 remaining columns of the mansion destroyed by fire in 1890. Visitors report paranormal activity, including hearing music and laughter, seeing apparitions like a blue-coated soldier or a man in period clothing, and a general sense of a "ghost with a guilty conscience". Some believe these are echoes of the tragedy that befell the Daniell family or the trauma of the Civil War era, even though the mansion was not destroyed by soldiers. Guests have reported hearing music, laughter, and other unexplained sounds emanating from the ruins. Eyewitness accounts include seeing a blue-coated soldier patrolling the grounds, a man in old-fashioned clothing walking around, and a woman with a "guilty conscience". Many visitors feel a strong sense of the past and an unusual energy at the site, often describing it as "haunting" or "eerie". The mansion was built in 1861 for Smith Coffee Daniell II and was one of the largest antebellum homes in Mississippi. It was destroyed by a fire in 1890, a year after the Civil War ended.
