The Hanging Tree, the Wirick-simmons house, John-Denham house, and the Opera House.Finding a blog topic is harder than it seems, but after really thinking about it, I 
decided to wright about my town that I have lived in my entire life. Monticello Florida. Not much interesting goes on in this town and for entertainment most people must leave and go to Tallahassee. But there is something interesting about my small little town. It is voted one of the most haunted small towns in America. It has its own ghost tracking group of professionals called Big Bend Ghost Trackers that hosts tours to the public taking them around to all the most haunted places in the town (and surrounding areas).
The John Denham house bed and breakfast is known for its lavishly furnished rooms and dates back to 1872. The blue room is reported as the center of activity. A woman has been seen in the room as well as in the hallway. Also a union soldier is said to haunt the property as well. It has been investigated numerous times. The Palmer house Antique Store was built at the turn of the 20th century by Dr. Palmer Senior. His office was located by his house. Today it is utilized as an antique store. Dr. Palmer was the local mortician who rumors say would experiment on the bodies before they were buried. He also believed the bodies should be buried with their blood so he would keep their drained blood in a bucket. Once the casket was laid into the ground, his assistant would dump the bucket in the grave before it was covered up. One night during an argument, the assistant threw a bucket of blood at Dr. Palmer, leaving a stain on the wall. Through many attempts the stain could not be removed. Finally, the wall was completely replaced. His assistant was named Poltergeist and he invested Cough Syrup 666. The Scott-Simmons house was used as a hospital during the Civil War and also was the sight of an Indian massacre. The Wirick-Simmons house is haunted by the woman who used to reside there. The old Hanging tree is another hot spot for spirits. Located in between the opera house and court house, this is where people who had done wrong were punished by a public hanging. The opera house itself is also known to be haunted by Mr. John Henry Perkins. Unidentified odors have been smelled as well as piano music has been heard playing in the building by visitors as well as staff.
These are just a few of the stories that have circulated about the small southern town of Monticello. There is no question of why it has been named one of the most haunted places in the country. There are so many more stories about this town but I wont get into them. Me being the kind of person who is really interested in the paranormal, I just think it is kind of cool to be from a town like this.
