Fort Huachuca’s Carleton House is one of a row of officers’ quarters built in late 1800s, still occupied today by modern-day Army officers. Unlike the others, however, Carleton House comes equipped with its own resident ghost, dubbed “Charlotte.” Built in 1880 as the post hospital, the building served in that capacity until 1889. During that time, according to legend, a woman named Charlotte gave birth to a baby, which died shortly thereafter. Charlotte herself died a few days later, never knowing whether her child was properly buried. Her spirit, in the form of a blonde young woman dressed in a flowing white gown, is said to roam the house in search of her baby. Several residents of the house have reported seeing such a figure, have seen furniture moving by itself, heard noises and other unexplained phenomena, and one corner of the living room defied efforts to heat it.
