Marion - Octagonal House - Abijah Thomas built the Octagon house in 1850. Thomas built the house with 8 sides to protect it from wind damage. He kept slaves to help him work the fields. It is said that in an upstairs room you can still see fresh blood dripping and seeping down one of the walls. You can also hear many strange noises through out the entire premises.
I've been to this house but was talked into NOT going in... You CAN hear strange sounds~ I hear a subdued wailing. I live in Marion not far from where this is located.
