Story & Photos by Shelly B MSSPI



Back in August of 2009, David and I were invited by our friends Paranormal Inc. to spend the night at Magnolia Hill B&B in West Helena, Arkansas.

The night started out with a tour of the grounds along with the history and alleged hauntings of the place such as footsteps going up and down the stairs and doors opening and shutting on their own as well as disembodied voices. One claim that was told to us by the innkeepers was that of their dog who can not go up and down the stairs and has to be carried. The innkeeper told us she was cleaning the bottom floors of the house and was looking for the dog and found him at the top of the stairs. They do not know how he got up there unless he was carried to the top.

The house is a beautiful home and the innkeepers were most gracious. The home was once a Presbyterian Church and was also used as a USO club during World War II. The home was also built on the site of a Civil War battle.

We had no activity in the home. All readings were within normal range, no EMF fluctuation or changes in temperatures. We did not get any unusual photographs or any EVP's the whole time we were there. That is how it goes sometimes, but we still had a great time at this historical location.

Some other members did get some activity that you can view on their websites. www.paranormalincorporated.com and http://www.theellisvillemississippiparanormalsociety.com/
Paranormal Incorporated has a blog written about their expierences on their site along with a few EVP's that they recorded.

Even though it was a quiet night for us, we had a great time and would love to go back for a nice weekend stay. If you are ever in West Helena and looking for a place to stay. Magnolia Hill B&B is the place to stay. For a complete history of Magnolia Hill or to book a stay at this lovely home, please visit www.magnoliahillbnb.com
