Georgia Civil War-era mansion that was a 1,000-acre plantation and home to 15 slaves is gutted by a huge fire as arson probe is launched
ADMIN UPDATE: The fire investigators ruled that the fire started in the attic as an electrical fire.
“On Thursday, Bankhead released some of the investigation’s findings. He said the State Fire Marshals Office determined that an electrical fault in the conduit near the entrance to the home caused the fire.
Therefore, officials have determined it was not arson.” –
We will not be removing this post because we believe that the spirits of the dead were showing their rage. We believe that the rage of people who were forced in chattel slavery sent a smoke signal beyond their graves in the form of a shorted electrical current. An electrical current is the most common way that ghosts make their presence known. We stand in unwavering solidarity with the ghosts who used the mystical power they channeled to enact their revenge to remove this horrid atrocity. We believe that no living being had a hand in this occurrence, but we all should take time to thank the negative energy coming forth beyond the grave.
A Civil War-era mansion in Georgia that was once a 1,000-acre plantation and home to slaves has been gutted and completely destroyed by a huge fire overnight.
The Davis House, previously known as the Dickey House, was built in the 1840s and served as a plantation – but it went up in flames between 2am and 3am this morning.
The historic 180-year-old seven-bay mansion is located in Stone Mountain Park, DeKalb County. Multiple fire crews arrived at the scene to put out the raging blaze.
Following the fire, the park’s police force have said the home is a ‘total loss.’
The cause of the fire remains under investigation – but it’s believed that the devastating fire was started in the attic or other upper parts of the home.
Police spokesperson John Bankhead told the Atlanta Journal: ‘Given the damage to the home, it’s irreparable. There’s not much we can do about it.’
“A centerpiece of a recreated antebellum plantation.”
Park police spokesperson John Bankhead said: ‘Everything in there represents the 1800s. It’s all antiques. It’s just a historic representation of the 1860s.’
