Oakleigh museum is a T-shaped Greek revival mansion featuring unique architectural features including a distinct cantilevered front staircase, grand double parlors and classic six-over-six windows and galleries accessed through jib windows. The house was built by a cotton factor from Virginia and later inhabited for three generations by one of the leading society families of Mobile.

Complementing the Oakleigh mansion is the Cook's House on the southwest portion of the property.  The Cook's House was built in 1850 as quarters for slaves who were the backbone of the Oakleigh property.  Master craftsmen including brick masons and carpenters lived and worked on the property from prior to the time of the main house's construction.

Stories
Growing up in Mobile Alabama, we have all heard the stories of a ghost in Oakleigh that is believed to be named Miss Daisy.  Walking the halls and being noticed by those that go around snooping.  There have been accounts of furniture moving, and the sounds of walking when the the poor tour guides are all down stairs.  Ashley Grantham, the Assistant Director believes the ghost is someone else that happens to not like gaudy decorations.

Setting
Oakleigh Mansion, Mobile Alabama

We wanted to investigate the Oakleigh mansion to see about the urban legends that we had heard growing up in Mobile Alabama.  The day was warm, approximately 95 degrees, very humid and extremely hot.

Readings
EMF – ambient EMF was .0mG-.4mG. EMF was touchy due to the old wiring within the house.

Humidity was at 89%

Barometric pressure was not read

Outdor Temperature was around 95 degrees

Conclusion
Although we were not give the opportunity to capture any positive data this go around, we would like the opportunity to investigate the house as it is truly magnificent.  We do feel that there might be something to the urban legends, because of all the stories and confirmation from Ashley Grantham as we did our walk through. It is just unfortunate we weren't given the opportunity to capture anything this time.


Psychic and Subjective Addendum
We didn't feel much of anything except in the little child's room.  Christina triggered on it before learning that the child had died in the room.  Christina also felt woozy and light headed around the hair wreath.
