Melinda Waldrup takes a seat on the floor of the maid's quarters at Körner's Folly in Kernersville. She speaks into her tape recorder, noting the time: 9:15 p.m.
The lights go out. In the next room Caroline Rogers asks, "Is anybody with us tonight?"

"What was your life like here?"
Some ice in a cooler trickles down. An air conditioner hums. And Rogers thinks she hears some kids playing.
But there are no kids around.
Rogers and Waldrup are members of the Southern Paranormal and Anomaly Research Society, which recently extended its reach into the Piedmont Triad. (Full article HERE!)
Körner's Folly, the showcase home of artist, designer,
decorator Jule Gilmer Körner, has intrigued neighbors
and visitors to Kernersville, NC for over 125 years.
This historic and eccentric structure offers 22 rooms
spread out over seven levels on three floors. Ceiling
heights range from 5-1/2 feet to 25 feet, with 10-foot
doorways and 2-foot passageways. Ornate mantles top the
15 fireplaces, and decorative murals and detailed woodwork
adorn every room. A winding staircase dizzies the mind
as it takes you from level to level. These are but a few
of the magical enchantments to behold in this grand home.
The Körner's Folly Foundation, a non-profit organization
created to preserve, restore, and maintain Körner's
Folly, is responsible for the operation and restoration
of the home. Körner's Folly is open to the public
for walk-in tours year round.
