The White-Holman House, located at 206 New Bern Place in Raleigh, North Carolina, is believed to have been constructed around 1798 or 1799 for Secretary of State William White. Through the years, people have reported hearing a “thud-clack” sound near the back staircase of the home. While the ghost’s identity is unknown, it is believed that the house served as a hospital during the Civil War. However, it is also thought that the specter is either a Civil War soldier who died in the home or a kitchen servant.
