The Drish House
The Drish House is an old plantation home in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Dr. John Drish constructed it for his wife Sarah. When Dr. Drish died, Sarah burned candles in the upper room as he lay in state. After the ceremony, Sarah put the candles away and requested that the same ones be used at her funeral. As Sarah grew older, she became obsessed with the candles being burned at her funeral. But, after her death, her friends and family weren't able to find the candles and Sarah was buried without them.
Shortly after, the tower where Sarah had burned the candles for her husband and requested the same for herself spontaneously caught fire. But when fire crews arrived they were shocked to find no flames or evidence of a fire ever occuring. The ghost fire happened a few times more and people began wondering who or what was causing the strange happenings. Then, one night after one of the fires mysteriously vanished, the ghost of Sarah Drish was reportedly sighted.
Drish House Today
The Drish House has been used for many other functions through the years, at one point it was even the home of Southside Baptist Church. But now stands "mostly" empty. If you stand below the tower and look up throught the slats on the windows you might still see the candles or ghost fire burning in the tower.
