Orange Hall - Saint Mary's Georgia

Early this fall we decided to wander down the road to old St. Mary’s to visit some haunted sites. One being Orange Hall, an antebellum mansion built in the late 1830s. Daniel immediately felt “something” on the site and had irregular readings on his K2 meter even in the yard and on the exterior of the old mansion. On our first visit he only took photos on the outside and caught on quite impressive orb that was certainly not of humidity or dust origin.

After additional research we returned to the site. We learned that the original owner the town’s Presbyterian minister Horace Pratt had built the home. Tragically his first wife died at the young age of 29. He remarried and named his first daughter after his lost love – Jane. Tragically this little Jane whom he loved dearly caught the yellow fever at age six and also died.

Orange Hall is said to be one of the most active sites of paranormal activity on the southeast coast. Many sightings of so called spirits, strange sounds, and unexplained happenings have occurred in the old mansion over the years. The Hall is said to be haunted by three spirits- one of an old man, an old woman, and a young girl of about 6 or 8 years old- she may be young Jane Pratt.

We did return to investigate the interior of Orange Hall and had some amazing experiences- including high K2 readings, temperature changes, some great EVP recordings and we even had a chair to move while we were there! It is not often that you can actually have things to HAPPEN when you are “hunting” but that is fun when it does. We did see several shadows pass by windows and were able to catch one on film which you can see if you look closely at this photo taken in the basement. There is also a photo of an orb on a sofa that was confirmed not to be a bug or dust. It was a great hunting night at Orange Hall.
