The story
The Grove stands on Moseley Street in Jefferson, Texas, an 1861 Greek Revival house built for Frank and Minerva Stilley in the riverport's boom years, and its haunted reputation is unusual in resting on the consistent testimony of its successive owners across more than a century — accounts collected and retold by the current owner, who researched the house's history and opens it for guided tours. The signature story is the lady in white, described as crossing the same rooms on the same path decade after decade regardless of furniture or walls, taken in telling to be Minerva Stilley; other accounts describe a man in the garden, knocking at the doors, footsteps, wet footprints, and the house's celebrated refusal to stay quiet for sceptics. Jefferson itself trades on its haunted reputation, and The Grove anchors it, featured in books and national programmes. These accounts should be presented as the owners' and visitors' consistent telling — remarkable folklore, not proof. The house is a private home opened for scheduled tours; times should be confirmed from its official pages before publishing.
