Nottoway Plantation, the South’s largest remaining antebellum home, will be featured on the Discovery Channel’s “Ghost Lab” on November 3, to showcase its unique ghostly spirits.  The show entitled “Murky Water,” which will air at 9 p.m. Central Standard Time, showcases spirits from the past as well as the dramatic, multi-million dollar renovation that has just taken place to restore Nottoway and upgrade the visitor experience.

“Many of our employees have not only heard the rumors but have also sensed things in the halls of this beautiful home,” explained Dale Huval, general manager.  “We’re not surprised that the ‘Ghost Lab’ team wanted to investigate further.  This episode will not only showcase Nottoway’s paranormal activity, but the very ‘alive and well’ renovations that have returned this beauty to her original grandeur.”

“Ghost Lab” has explored more than 70 locations across the United States for paranormal activity and set a new standard in supernatural research.  Using some of the world’s most sophisticated equipment housed in a decked-out traveling “ghost lab,”  brothers Brad and Barry Klinge mobilize this lab to this sprawling relic of the South with deep ties to the Civil War and the trauma of the times.  Legend has it that Nottoway’s original owner still roams the mansion, dressed in black – lore made even more intriguing when Barry says he witnesses the spirit for himself.

Brad and Barry learn that the alleged activity extends to unexplained voices and pictures flying off the walls.  While investigating the third floor bedroom, a purported site of haunted activity, they notice that the raging Mississippi River is clearly visible from window.  A team member takes a photograph that appears to show a ghostly woman’s face in the window.   After ruling out environmental factors like condensation for the image, the Klinge Brothers theorize that the flowing water from the Mississippi is casting off electromagnetic energy toward the house, fueling the spirits inside. 

“The first time we set foot at Nottoway, we knew it had tremendous potential.  The location is beautiful, yet spooky, with an amazing history,” said Ghost Lab Executive Producer Alan LaGarde.  “Once we spoke with the staff about their experiences and also heard the guests’ stories, we were hooked.”
