Unexplainable Presence
Upon entering the Juliette Gordon Low House, many visitors have noted an unexplainable presence in the air. It’s a sensation described as a thickness felt in the atmosphere or stickiness of the air. Sometimes, guests also feel footsteps reverberating through the floors or hear small and unexplainable noises here and there.
None of these feelings or experiences are dark or negative. Instead, many say that they are comforting.
A Heavenly Meeting
Juliette’s mother, Nelly, passed away in this home late in life. Widowed by the loss of her husband many years prior, she lay on her death bed surrounded by Juliette and the rest of her immediate family. Overcome with grief, the family began to weep. However, Nelly urged them not to cry. She told them that she was going to be reunited with her love soon.
Just then, the frail woman sat up straight in her bed and stretched her arms out wide as if to greet someone. Suddenly, she laid back down on her pillow and gently passed.
Juliette was amazed when she turned to the door only to see it open. In walked her father, the late William Gordon III. A few minutes later, she headed downstairs to tell her butler of what had happened. But he simply told her not to worry, for the Captain and Nelly just left out the front door arm in arm.
