Auburn Al Wedding Photographers at The Sterling Castle

Event Details: Carolyn and Tyler Duncan

Inspection Date: Sept 24, 2022

Inspection Personnel: Bryan K for Eleven 11 Photography

Written by Auburn Al wedding photographers:

Believe it or not The Sterling Castle is a working house on a private lake. I mean when this family isn’t hosting weddings they actually reside on this property. And it must be a blessed existence because Sterling Castle is everything you could want from a wedding venue.

There is a ceremony area set right down on the lake that is just to die for. Its got fantastic sight lines so that all you guests will see everything yet not block the photographers shot or the couples reaction to one of them walking down the aisle. Its so extremely well thought out.

And if you are looking for something a little cozier the new outdoor chapel lets you beat the heat of summers hottest days while still having an outdoor affair. It’s large, breeze and quiet will still being cozy. It’s beautifully constructed and the nightlines are gorgeous no matter which way you look.

The Sterling Castle is also chock full of little corners and getaways for a private moment. And it’s one fo the few wedding venues in the state that pays as much attention to the “groom’s suite” as it does to the “brides” (their terms y’all).

Ectoplasmic Estates in Atlanta

Metropolitan Atlanta, the capital of the American Southeast and one of hte country's most important cities, contains half of Georgia's population. Despite this, Atlanta is sparsely haunted. The original city was almost totally destroyed during the Civil War, and it is famous for demolishing itself as it grows. Atlanta is a new city, with new buildings, neighborhoods, and traditions. It is amazing that it has any haunts at all. But there are a few.

The William Donaldson House, constructed in 1870, is the second-oldest in Dunwoody, an upscale community just outside Atlanta. In 1975, it was purchased by the Chestnut family, who had an idea of its secret nature before they moved in. "We felt a presence," Linda Chestnut said. "We knew there was something there." One of the Chestnuts' daughters woke one night to see a female ghost standing over her bed, peering out a window, and chorus singing was heard, from a front bedroom. The light in the dining room flickered on and off for some time until David Chestnut threatened to replace it with a new fixture. The flashing immediately ended.

Most off was an antique Bible that rested on a table. It would lift off the table and fall to the floor, opening to one particular passage. "A psychic came out and said a few words over it, and it stopped," Linda stated. The psychic also "saw" a family of ghosts-mother, father, and child, dressed in late-nineteenth-century fashion. The trio was probably William Donaldson; his third wife, Adeline, who occupied the structure after her husband died; and their daughter, Lee Ann. The three have been seen walking hand-in-hand. The psychic pronounced them "positive spirits," and the Chestnuts agreed. Of Donaldson's presences in the house, David maintained, "He's just making sure we're taking good care of it."

Early in the twentieth century, Atlantan Henry Heinz married Lucy Candler, daughter Coca-Cola magnate and Atlanta mayor. In 1922, Henry built his bridge a fine house, Rainbow Terrace, now Lullwater Estate, on Ponce de Leon Road. The great Spanish-Mediterranean-style mansion is a handsome structure of white stucco with orange roof tiles. But it was not to have a happy history. In 1946, Henry was murdered in the house by a burglar, and Lucy no longer wished to live there.

By the 1960s, the building became a boardinghouse, where residents frequently observed prowlers on the grounds. Residents and neighbors alike reported the intruders to police, but the shadowy figures vanished if anyone approached them. Repeated gunshots were heard, but again, the responsible parties were never located.

The estate continued to deteriorate until the 1980s, when a corporation purchased the property, turning it into condos and constructing townhouses around it. James Giblin and his family occupied a unit that included the old library, where Henry was killed. Just before Christmas 1984, Giblin decorated his mantel with greenery, then returned to find the greenery scattered across the floor. Several days later, a firmly secured Christmas tree fell to the floor, and one night in January a glass shelf fell, destroying expensive crystal and porcelain. Giblin did not believe in ghosts, but he was convinced that "something weird was going on. For those things to happen in such a short period of time just really didn't make a lot of sense."
