Have any of you ever been to George Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estates? If you haven't, you should add that to your to-do list because it's absolutely huge and beautiful. People come from all over the world to visit Biltmore.

Anyway, I had a creepy feeling the entire time I was in the house. Walking around the old servant quarters made me feel like there HAVE to be spirits from the past.

Sooooo...me being someone who is lightweight obsessed with the paranormal...I found a groundskeeper to talk to about it. He told me that his sister can see and talk to spirits but absolutely REFUSES to go around one of the garden houses (or whatever it is called) because there's some strong, evil entity there. He said some people had experienced some wierd things around the garden houses but he hadn't told his sister about those experiences. She knew to stay away from those garden houses without having been told what was going on there.

Then he said that years prior, an employee was closing up for the evening. When he was about to leave one of the many lounging rooms in the Estate house, he heard "leave me." Well, he was the only person there and the voice had a very late19th-early20th century tone. "Leave me" is something they said to their servants.

Needless to say, I am intrigued by Biltmore and will definitely visit again and again and again. It's an absolutely beautiful experience. Even if there are spirits and stuff hanging around.

I have been to the Biltmore Estate. I too recommend it. I also recommend a visit to their winery! I didnt have a "spooky" experience there but it reminds me of those castles and places they profile on that "Most Haunted" show on the Travel Channel.

I loved the winery! Their nonalcoholic juices are also good. The free samples are grrrrrrreat.

Their samples of wine are the cheaper wines. You have to buy the more expensive wines to truly get the Biltmore wine experience.

Ditto on the rest of your post.
