Mallory-Neely House

A stunning Italian villa-style mansion in Memphis's Victorian Village Historic District. Built in the 1850s and expanded in the 1890s, it showcases 25 rooms of Victorian-era furnishings and decorative arts.

The Mallory-Neely House is one of several haunted mansions in Memphis's Victorian Village, where historical elegance meets supernatural mystery. Ghost tour operators confirm that all of the Victorian Village mansions have legends and hauntings associated with them, and the Mallory-Neely House is no exception. The mansion's long history as a family home means it has witnessed births, deaths, celebrations, and tragedies over more than a century and a half. Visitors have reported seeing figures in Victorian dress moving through the ornate rooms, only to disappear when approached. The sounds of a piano playing have been heard when the instrument sits untouched, and footsteps echo through the upstairs hallways at night. Staff members have reported feeling sudden cold spots in certain rooms and the distinct sensation of being watched. Some visitors have captured unexplained figures in photographs, appearing as misty shapes or shadows where no one should be. The mansion's perfectly preserved Victorian atmosphere seems to attract spirits from its past, making it a favorite stop on Memphis ghost tours.
