- In the heart of Vicksburg, Mississippi, stands Lakemont, a beautiful nineteenth-century home whose elegant Greek Revival architecture conceals a haunting tale of love and tragedy. For generations, residents have reported strange occurrences within its walls, from unexplained footsteps and the rustling of silk skirts to the lingering fragrance of a woman's perfume drifting through otherwise empty rooms. According to local legend, these mysterious encounters are connected to Anne Lake, the wife of a prominent Mississippi attorney whose life was forever changed by a fateful afternoon in October 1861. But what happened that day, and why do some believe that Anne's spirit continues to wander the halls and gardens of the home she once loved?

Known as the Oviedo Ghost Lights, the strange phenomenon has puzzled locals for generations, with witnesses describing a brilliant bluish-white glow that seems to approach like an oncoming vehicle, only to disappear without a trace. Some have even claimed that the light follows those who venture out to investigate it. By the late 1960s, the sightings had attracted enough attention to warrant an investigation by a local university newspaper, but the mystery surrounding these unusual encounters has endured, fueled by unsettling eyewitness accounts and stories of tragedy along this isolated stretch of Central Florida countryside.

The tale concerns a mysterious woman known as Mrs. Kyle, whose restless spirit is said to haunt an old brick house on the school's sprawling campus. For years, students and faculty have reported unexplained footsteps, strange noises, and the unsettling feeling that someone is following them along the narrow staircase leading to the attic. But according to the school's founder, Charlotte Haxall Noland, there may have been more to these encounters than a simple haunting, and the story of Mrs. Kyle's tragic death would eventually take a rather unexpected turn.
