Journey with us through heart of the Old Dominion state of Virginia as we explore some of the most chilling ghost stories from our very nations past! From overgrown plantations where the restless spirits of the formerly enslaved linger to blood-soaked battlegrounds whose bounds are stalked by spectral soldiers and phantom gunfire, you won't believe the dark histories the Mother of States has to offer. Adventure through an old homestead that harbors the apparition of one of our founding fathers and uncover ghastly secrets sealed within the walls of what some consider to be the US' most famous capitol building. Are you sure you're ready to brave what lies in store?

I'm conflicted about visiting the battlefield. Our class had a field trip when I was 8, to the Gettysburg battlefield. We waited through the boring stuff until we were allowed to run all over the place and scramble on the rocks. I smelt something...I couldnt identify, stinky, smokey. Noise, booming, so loud. I looked up and there was a group of seven men sitting on the lower rocks. One had nodded off, but his friend nudged him to wake him, and they stared at me with terrified eyes. I had a whole lot of feelings at once. Exhaustion. And frustration, as the could not tell friends from enemies in the dust and smoke. They were afraid they were shooting at their own troops. Everyone was so covered in dust there was no telling, even the ones in front of me. They stared at me as though they had seen a ghost....and I think they might have. I don't know which side they fought for....they just wanted to go home. It's amazing what I learned about the civil war that day, and none of it was in the dry lecture they gave us. I gasped in air and they vanished, along with the noise and smell. I was looking at rocks, and a green meadow. Sunny day. As I looked seriously disoriented, one of the ladies that worked there took my hand and asked if I was okay. "I don't know...I think so." "Did you see something scary?" "Yeah. But I wasn't scared, they were." To my surprise, she just nodded. "That happens. Don't worry about it. It happened a long time ago." I felt much better. It didn't occur to me until I was older how an adult would describe the event.

I worked at Monticello right after high school. The old timers that worked there loved to repeat the wildest ghost stories, I was warned not to stay on the property after dark, especially behind the Ticket building. I did by accident one eveing and on the way to my car, I saw several people walking through the woods (there was a slave cemetary in the woods) I also witnessed a toy horse on wheels move by itself while in the room above Mr. Jefferson's Cabinet, I took the hint and left quickly. The door literally slammed behind me. Someone did not want me there.

I live in Richmond and had an experience at the Edgar Allan Poe museum that scared the sh*t out of me. I was in the original library of primary sources (my friend worked there, I had permission to look and not touch) and legitimately had a bad experience. I won’t go back. Richmond has a ton of cool paranormal stuff but I recommend the Haunts of Richmond tours in the fall - downtown is just a Mecca.

@@FrightNightScares honestly, it doesn’t sound like much when I type it out, but at the time, I have never felt so much negative energy from something like that. I was basically just looking at the books and papers (looking being the key word- no touching 😂), and all of a sudden, I just felt like there was something there that wanted me out. Like now. And I started feeling short of breath. When I tell you I FLEW out of that room and down the stairs of the little stone house where the office was, I mean it. Something didn’t want me in there. (Not my proudest moment as a mom either - forgot my 3 year old kid who was playing little Edgar Allan Poe in a program that day 😂, but my husband was there too so he had been keeping an eye on him while I was in the library and brought him downstairs.) I’ve had a few experiences before (mostly positive with spirits) but never ever have felt anything like this. Afterwards, my girlfriend told me that there was a lot of activity in the stone house and a paranormal group had gotten a HORRIFYING EVP earlier in the week IN THAT LIBRARY so she was glad she didn’t tell me about the activity at first - she wanted to see if I experienced it. The Poe Museum is absolutely lovely but I haven’t been back. 😂

If any of y'all cry with what I'm about to tell y'all about my experience in the Martha Washington Inn it's kinda sad I remember as a kid going to Martha Washington inn as a Field Trip. The guide was telling us stories about it showing us around the rooms. I remember getting separated from everyone else when I was hearing light humming from a Woman in the upstairs area of the building. And of course being a kid I wanted to know what it was so I went up in the attic area. When I got they're I saw a woman like how you described her but to me she was looked like in her 50s. When she looked at me she had a look of worry. As the story goes like you said of waiting for a lover of sorts it was her husband who was a soldier in the war that sadly was killed. When I asked her what was wrong she told me that she was waiting for her husband he has been gone for a long time. I went on to tell her to no be sad or worried that he will find his way to you. Crazy how this trip was in the early 2000s and here it is 2024 and I'm 32 when back then I think I was 9 or 10

My childhood home in Virginia was very haunted. When we would talk about it and someone would make fun of us, then boom, the loud noises would start and pictures would fly off the wall. They would leave terrified. Every morning our kitchen cabinets would be open, and the television would be on. We would hear hammering and foot steps at night, and oddly loud water dripping over the bed, and nothing was there. I know it was the man who built it, he died literally with a hammer in his hand, he dug the basement out with a bucket and shovel with his sons. We finally sold it and in our small town it was legandary that the house was haunted and the couple who bought it wanted it because it was haunted! I always felt like I was being watched in that house!😮

Ive lived in VA my entire life. About 1000 feet from Rosewell. I met a girl sitting on part of an out building, I'm guessing. It was rock and what looked like clay forms or very early concrete. She told me that she didn't want to be there anymore. She looked normal no old clothes, no Indian dress. I asked her if she told her parents that she wanted to leave and she said she can't. I said I would go to the group and find her parents and when I turn to ask her thier names this chick was straight gone and didn't see her again.
