The building that houses Barley Republic was built in 1865 and was once a Civil War widow’s home, a stop for rum runners, and a brothel at one point.
One ghost that is said to haunt here is of a little black girl nicknamed sweetheart. She is described as having long braids and wearing a dress. It is believed her family is the ones that lived her during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. She has made her presence known to many by appearing and looking rather sad and telling them her braids are too tight, and she vanishes!
There is another spirit here who likes to mess with the televisions by turning them on and off or the volume way up, but once you tell it to stop, it does.
