Virginia

It’s impossible to survey the Virginia landscape without seeing the layers of its history. Civil War battlefields in Virginia lie right next to landmarks of the American Revolution. The Old Dominion state is home to those who declared independence and framed the constitution, as well as the civil rights leaders and suffragists who still had to fight for freedoms withheld. From Richmond’s culinary traditions to the politics of a Middleburg foxhunt, examine the fascinating complexities of Virginia with our Virginia history books. [View all Virginia books]

The abolitionist John Brown still roams the West Virginia panhandle--and beyond. In Lexington, a statue sheds real tears, mourning Virginians killed in battle. Decades of abuse at a sanatorium unleashed malevolent entities in Staunton. Spirits of Native Americans, Civil War soldiers and children frequent natural springs in Frederick County and caves near Strasburg. Ghosts stay free of charge at the nation's oldest inn in Middletown, and at the Natural Bridge Hotel, phantom children play in the halls. Visitors from beyond the grave enjoy live performances at several theaters in the region, while spectral soldiers gather for combat in the battlefields scattered throughout the area. Join Denver Michaels as he delves into folklore, eyewitness accounts and urban legends to bring you the best ghost stories from the Shenandoah Valley.

The Old Dominion is filled with the unexplained…

With a history stretching back to the 1607 Jamestown settlement, Virginia is rich in mystery. There are ghost towns, fake towns, a vampire in Richmond, a Bunnyman in Clifton and secret government sites all over. Colonists buried gold along the James River and Sir Francis Bacon’s plan for a “New Atlantis” lies in a vault in Williamsburg. Fabled pirates Captain Kidd and Blackbeard stashed treasure along the Virginia coast. A ghost light appears at a railroad crossing near West Point and mysterious booms rattle windows from central Virginia to the Eastern Shore. Cryptid creatures stalk the forests from Fairfax County to the Great Dismal Swamp. A devil monkey lurks in Goochland, Bigfoot roams Marine Corps Base Quantico, and a sea serpent swims through the Chesapeake Bay.

Join Virginia native Denver Michaels as he explores these legends and many more.

With over 250 years of history, Fauquier County’s old homes and Civil War sites vibrate with ghostly energy.

Spectral figures haunt the old grounds of Grace Church. A headless ghost and a white calf appear in Throughfare Gap. The spirit of a whistling Confederate soldier appears in a home near St. Stephens, and Colonel Mosby’s wife, Pauline, has been seen wandering her home at Brentmoor. The Grey Lady of Avenel wanders through the woods to Kinloch, and the shades of the Nourse family and their caretaker, Eliza Redd, still make themselves known at Weston.

Join local historian Meaghan Reddick as she delves between the seen and the unseen worlds of Fauquier’s historic haunts.
