Litchfield Plantation is reportedly haunted by Dr. Henry Tucker, the pre-Civil War owner who would ride out to tend to the sick and would ring a bell upon his return, a bell that still seems to ring despite its removal, according to legend. Other reported paranormal activity includes the sound of a horse galloping, footsteps on the staircase, strange lights, and the ghosts of maids and Dr. Tucker himself, often seen in the Blue Room. The most prominent legend concerns Dr. Tucker, who would ring a bell at his home's gate when he returned from tending to the sick. Guests of the former plantation inn reported hearing this bell, even after it had been removed. Some accounts mention hearing the sound of a horse galloping up the avenue, followed by footsteps on the staircase, suggesting the doctor's continued presence. Dr. Tucker's spirit is said to appear at the gate, on the servants' stairs, and in his former bedroom or the Blue Room. Reports also include sightings of strange lights and the ghosts of maids working at the plantation. Witnesses have heard the distinct sound of a horse galloping up the avenue and subsequent footsteps on the staircase, indicating a spiritual presence.
