Legend of Haunted Morgan House
Morgan House has a thrilling tale associated with it, as locals believe this place to be haunted. Legend says that this house was built by George Morgan in the 1930s, who lived in the home until the death of Lady Morgan. Some people believe that the manor is still haunted by the spirit of the lady. Some people have reported hearing sounds of high heels clicking against the wooden passage of the hotel. These urban legends only make a stay over here more exciting and thrilling and should be experienced once.
This property has used a spot for summer breakaway where lavish parties were organized. It then went into the hands of the trustees after the death of Mr and Mrs Morgan. Then, the property was handed over to the Indian Government after India gained independence. Under the governance of Pt Jawaharlal Nehru, a collective decision was taken to convert the house into a government rest house. However, after the death of Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, the property was finally handed over to the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation.
Many celebrities including Amit Kumar, Sunil Dutt, Nargis and Om Prakash have visited the lodge and stayed here. Their testimonials have been taken and framed in the lounge of the mansion.
