Question about ghost story (Savannah, Tucker: 2009, houses, transfer)

[BulldogFred]

We were in Savannah this past weekend and took a ghost tour where they took us by the house at 432 Abercorn. We were told a story about a little girl who died in the house and another story about 3 children who were killed in the house, but have been unable to completely remember the stories and can't find anything about the house online. Does anyone know about this house? Are these stories legit? Just curious to find out what anyone might know about it. We got some interesting pictures with orbs and what seems to be a young girl in the window and another child/girl on the front porch, which peaked our interest more than anything.
Thanks!

Can you post the pics? Really, you can't possibly say something like than and then not share

If you go to this post and read a bit, it might help. Pay attention to what Joandio has to say.
Read around a bit.

I found a story here:

Rob & Tom's Place: Dogs, Ghosts, Superheroes, Weather, More!: Savannah: Part Six: Ghosts: The Ghost Tour - 2 Haunted Houses

Here's the story from the link:

432 ABERCORN STREET- THE GHOSTLY FACE ON A BUILDING - This was by far the most frightening story and house on our ghost walk. In the 1800s, an Army General named Wilson lived here with his 9 year old daughter. Because the family was "upper class" the little girl was not allowed to associate with school children of lower class, that just happened to play outside of their home. There was a school for lower class children diagonally from the Wilson house, and the kids would go out in the grassy square and play at recess and during the summertime. Wilson's little girl would sit in her 2nd floor bedroom window and beg her father to let her out to play with the other kids. She didn't care about "classes." She was only 9. Her father refused. One day, she ran outside and played anyway. It was a fatal mistake. Her brutally mean father actually tied her up in a chair in her bedroom and faced her toward the window to watch the other kids play. He left her there 2 days... and it was the summertime. Summer in Savannah means 99F with 100 percent humidity. The little girl was dead of heatstroke when her evil father found her, still tied to the chair.

The General was distraught and angry after the girl's death. You can guess he was the type of person that blamed the children for his daughter's death, and not himself. After she was buried, he would sit in her chair staring out at the children. Our tour guide said he died there, too, but as an old man. I gather that he is apparently still angry, and needs forgiveness for killing his daughter before he can move on. Strangely, his face has appeared on the OUTSIDE of the house. In the photo above, his visage is seen to the left of a window on the front of the house. The photo above is a close-up. The Georgia Paranormal Society compared the image to photos of the General and they match. Further, one man tried moving into the house and renovating it. Workers refused to work and some ran out, leaving tools behind (which can be seen in the windows). The man who moved in was pushed down the stairs and into the front doors after he distinctly heard a man's voice say "Get Out." He did and no one has returned in years.

And the house is still empty? Oh, this is gooooood...

We really got creeped out looking at the pictures after we took them. We got a few "orbs" in the pictures also. In the first one you can see on the porch what appears to be a little girl with her head hanging down. In the next two you see what looks like a girl or child peeking out of the bottom of the window at different places.
We were a little skeptical so we went back the next day and went on the porch and looked into the windows and took photos. There is nothing that could make that "apparition" in the windows that we saw. It was really weird.

Yeah, that's a weird house, isn't it? I think it's vacant today. I might be wrong. Sounds like it has some paranormal residents :-) It's currently owned by someone, but according to Chatham county tax record for 2008, only the top floor is livable, and as of a note in 2002, all restoration had stopped and house had been left to deteriorate. Anyone that knows the Landmark District knows that would be a prime property for restoration, so something truly SPOOOOOOKY must go on to have had it transfer ownership so many times. Lots of folks have owned it, so it isn't like it's always been vacant, but heck, still wonder why someone hasn't turned it into a B&B :-)
