Background: The Col. Samuel W. Peel House is a historic house museum, also known as the Peel Mansion, at 400 South Walton Boulevard in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a two-story stuccoed brick masonry structure, with a three-story hip-roofed tower at the center of its front facade. The house was built c. 1875 by Samuel W. Peel, a prominent local politician and businessman. After serving in the Confederate Army in the American Civil War, Peel studied law and practiced for many years in Bentonville. He served several terms in the United States Congress, and helped establish the First National Bank of Bentonville. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
Claims: It is believed to be haunted by Peel himself, and his daughter, Minnie Belle. His daughter's ghost is known to play the piano when no one is in the room. Shadow figures have been observed, and some poltergeist activity has been recorded.
