NATCHEZ &8212; The ghost of Magnolia Hall had a little company Monday, and he was on his best behavior.

Original owner Thomas Henderson&8217;s ghost &8212; according to those who know the house &8212; filmed his TV debut with a crew from Turner South network.

The Time Warner Company will highlight the house in an upcoming episode of &8220;Blue Ribbon&8221; featuring haunted houses.

Though Henderson was never actually visible, those in the house did see an imprint on a bedroom pillow and hear the beeping of a ghost-tracking device.

Such instances are par for the course, former Magnolia tour guide Judy Grimsley told the Turner South tape.

&8220;Some people don&8217;t like to say the word &8216;haunted,&8217;&8221; Grimsley said in her interview. &8220;Paranormal is more of what we are into at Magnolia Hall.&8221;

Grimsely told reporter Dave Porfiri stories of mysterious footsteps, shadows and flickering lights.

But Magnolia Hall&8217;s ghosts aren&8217;t the evil type, she said.

&8220;They like to see that everything is going well, and they are very pleased,&8221; she said.

Porfiri also interviewed others &8212; most Natchez Garden Club members &8212; who&8217;ve spent time in the house. Their comments will be melded with footage from the house and from a Living History tour for about a five-minute segment, Porfiri said.

The episode, which may air in February, will also include houses in Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia.

&8220;Blue Ribbon,&8221; in its third season, highlights a different topic each episode, such as island getaways and microbreweries.

Porfiri, who works on a freelance basis with the network, submitted the idea of haunted houses and picked Natchez.

A Google search led him to Magnolia Hall.

&8220;(Natchez) is just honestly a place I wanted to come,&8221; he said. &8220;I&8217;ve heard about it my whole life.&8221;

Porfiri and his soundman spent all day Monday filming at Magnolia Hall.

He said he hopes to pitch the idea of a haunted house series to Turner South, and said coming back to Natchez is a possibility.

&8220;In my research for this show I was absolutely convinced this would make a great series for the network,&8221; he said. &8220;There are thousands of haunted places.&8221;

The show will be publicized on the Turner South Web site (www.turnersouth.com) about a month before it airs. During its first month on TV it will air 10 times, after that it will go into a rotation and appear occasionally.

At the end of each &8220;Blue Ribbon&8221; episode, viewers are given the chance to vote on which segment should win the blue ribbon. Magnolia Hall will be eligible.
