Buffalo Trace Distillery

Buffalo Trace Distillery on the Kentucky River in Frankfort claims to be the oldest continuously operating distillery in the United States. Its best-known ghost is Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who ran the distillery through Prohibition, worked and lived there for more than 55 years, and died in his house on the property. General manager of visitor experience Tyler Adams has said that figures have been seen in the window of the room where Blanton died, and tour guides report a figure at the end of a hallway in Warehouse C and sounds there that have led some staff to avoid locking up the warehouse after dark. The paranormal series Ghost Hunters investigated the site in an episode called Distillery of Spirits, which aired on November 16, 2011. The distillery has leaned into the reputation with ghost tours, evening storytelling walks in late October and a night with a ghost hunter at Blanton's former residence, though the stories are employee accounts rather than anything documented.
