The Parlor Bed and Breakfast Towns near the mountain claim their fair share of ghosts. Doorbells ring at both the front and back of the Parlor Bed-and-Breakfast in Ironton, Missouri. Clocks stop and then restart, radios turn off and on and motion-activated Christmas decorations become active when no one is near to set them into motion. Snuggled in the Arcadia Valley, the Parlor invites guests to witness the antics of its disembodied tenants. The B&B is listed as having been a funeral parlor in a former life and is located near the haunted Fort Davidson Civil War battlefield, where the spirits of the soldiers who died there wander within sight of the ditch where their bodies were tossed. Also nearby is the equally haunted Pilot Knob Civil War Cemetery. The Parlor is a lovely turn-of-the-century home built in 1908 by Charles J. Tual, noted architect of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The home was designed as a present for his bride and features stained-glass windows, turret rooms and private balconies. A Mr. Howell bought the home in 1960 and operated a funeral parlor within its walls for a time. The current owner’s grandfather’s funeral was held there. The home was restored to its original state after being purchased by the current owners in 2000 and opened as the Parlor Bed-and-Breakfast. Renovations seem to have awakened the old girl, as they do many older locations, although the B&B owners had been “warned” about the home. Voices were heard during the renovations. A shadowy female was spotted walking from the kitchen into the dining room. Apparitions stand at the foot of the guests’ beds. |
