Old House Woods - Mathews,Virginia

These stories have been passed down for a good 200 years. These instances have been recognized as the most bizarre psychic phenomena ever recorded. Anywhere from swash buckling pirates burring stolen gold; A ghost ship hovering over the woods; British soldiers hiding colonial treasure during the revolutionary war; A full Spanish galleon which vanishes in thin air;
Skeletons in knight’s armor wielding threatening swords; Mysterious
groups of shovelers digging furiously late at night; to ghost horses
and cows appearing and disappearing before your eyes. All of these and
more have been seen at different times of the year. There has also been
a rumor going around of a witch that lets off a green light flying
through the trees. 4 Eye-witnesses have vowed never to return to this area of land. The woods got their name from an old house that was in the center
of them. The story behind the house is unknow at this time. The house
caught on fire and then put its self out. Then a few years later it
caught fire again and burned to the foundation. There is one spirit
that comes up out of the water and walks along the beach towards the
road. At first glance it is a rather grey glowing figure dressed in
worn pirate style clothing if you are able to catch the face it is that
of a skeleton. The Spanish Galleon that comes in from the water
hovering over the beach and then above the woods. If you are on the
beach and face the woods you can see the grove in the tree line as to
where the ship docks. You can watch the ship hover there above the
trees and watch as figures of men get off the ship. The whole wooded
area lights up and you can hear digging and clanking of shovels.. There
are 2 black headless dogs that will come out of the woods and chase
you. As well as jump onto your vehicle or in the bed of your truck. The
green light is truly astonishing. It is more like a ball of light. That
is so intense it lights up everything it flashes 3 times for brief
periods of time. but doesn't distort your night vision when it passes..
Usually when you see that light it is time to go. You have worn out
your welcome on the beach. If you remain things will start to attack
your vehicle. There are also accounts of people vanishing in those
woods. They say that if you get too close to the treasure you never
return. Various people over the years have gone in searching and never
made it back.
