Rocky Point Manor
Rocky Point Manor is a three-story mansion in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. It was built in 1810 for attorney and judge, James Haggin. It was a very large residence at the time, spanning across almost 400 acres.
Following the Battle of Perryville in October of 1862, Rocky Point served as a hospital for the wounded, both Union and Confederate soldiers were been treated in its basement, and a crawlspace on the wall having been used as a temporary morgue for the deceased.
John Haggin was one of the earliest settlers in Kentucky. With his entrance in the spring of 1775 as a famous "Indian fighter", he was the leader on numerous attacks against the pioneer settlers. Haggin set up his own cabin in the place Rocky Point Manor stands today and lived there with his wife and children. The local Shawnee indians burnt down his cabin sometime in the late 18th or early 19th century, and the family took refuge in the nearby Fort Harrod.
Ownership of Rocky Point Manor changed many times over the years following this incident. In the 1940s, the manor was sectioned off into small apartments. In 1986, the house was left abandoned and lost much of its interest as its history became largely unknown.
This residence was investigated by Travel Channels Zak, Nick, and Aaron for its frequent paranormal activity. The episode aired on March 5th 2012, and Travel Channels Ghost Adventures. Many unexplained voices were recorded, also shadow figures, and unexplained gusts of cold air were felt.
