There is a "Charred lady" apparently seen in Amelia Wildlife Reserve, as well as other apparitions. There have been at least two murders/bodies found in there. In the early 90s,the middle aged female victim of a brutal joy-ride rape-murder was found dumped near the entrance of the reserve (note: the case was hushed by local officials, inexplicably, couldn’t find out even the victims name...the case has never been solved). 4 years ago, another female corpse was found near the lake/dam area, within a small cove, also a nighttime lovers lane - party spot for teen urchins. The dam nearby is the same one where a woman has been seen (dragging a body) in the past.

Walney Road - Chantilly,Virginia
It is said that many years ago before the windy road was paved a man was killed while hitchhiking. On Wednesday or Thursday nights at 11:30 if you drive down Walney and you see a hitchhiker, it is recommended that you stop. He appears up to three times to give you the chance to pick him up. If you still don't pick him up by the third time, a car will come out of nowhere and kill you.

The Danville Museum - Danville,Virginia
Danville Museum, aka. The Sutherlin Mansion. This was the last capitol of the confederacy. Jefferson Davis spent hours staring out the window of the parlor, after he heard the news of the surrender of the confederacy. To this day, you can take tours through the mansion, but the real tour is at night. You can hear foot steps, hear a young girl moan, see a young woman in mirrors, and smell cigar smoke.

Abandoned Sewage Plant - Fort Belvior,Virginia
Went there a few times as a kid...abandoned in a hurry, books, TV, cloths etc were left in the watchman's house. Underground Tunnels. A lot of dead animals and skeletons around it and inside of it. Located in Jadwin Village, down the road that says do not enter, if you go along the sides you can get under the fence in a few areas...the MPs sometimes go down there if someone calls them....Strange feeling when you look at the tunnel...or get close to it.

Lover’s Leap - Independence,Virginia
It is said that anyone who passes over this bridge will see the ghost figure
of a young girl crying, saying "I love you" or a strapping young man
jumping off the bridge. The story goes that the two were romantically
involved and their families were at odds. The two would rather die than
be kept apart so they jumped off the bridge holding hands and
whispering, "I love you".

It was established in the 1700's, not sure exactly when, it says on the sign hanging above the door, but there is a very friendly ghost there who every morning makes breakfast. Very early in the morning you can smell bacon cooking when no-one is awake or in the kitchen.

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.

USS George Washington - Norfolk,Virginia
As strange as it sounds for a U.S. Navy ship to be haunted with a little girl, that appears to be what is happening. One of the few things on the GW.Multiple people have said that they have seen her in the lower levels
of the Engineering spaces. One saw her in a pink and white dress.
Another saw her in a blue dress and when he tried to get closer she was
gone. Another sailor said that he had seen a guard dog on one of his
tours, but the dog disappeared as soon as he got closer to it. There
have been reports of strange noises, like the sound of someone jingling
their keys as they walk down the stairs but there is no one on the
stairs. One time a man walked halfway down the stairs but never made it
to the bottom. Two gentlemen standing near watched him start his
journey before he disappeared. Another group of men have seen a man
walking through equipment before going out of sight. Once they
investigated they found no one in the space. Other strange things
happen as well, shoulder tapping, strange sounds, shadows, tools moving
in the middle of the night. And most of all, the overwhelming sensation
of being watched from every nook and cranny of the space.

Ramsey Cemetery - Norton,Virginia
In the cemetery late at night, like midnight or later, no matter what the temperature, it gets cold as soon as you walk through the gates. And you hear noises in the bushes around you and the leaves are moving and there is no wind. It sounds like people are talking and whispering to one another, but you really can't understand what they are saying. Every once in a while, you see a shadowy figure ahead of you, and if you get closer it disappears. The whole time you are walking you can hear footsteps behind you. Some times you hear a train approaching, and you would probably say "well that's normal since it is right by an active rail road track", well let me tell you this: my mom is a conductor on the trains that go through there and she says they rarely ever go through there at that hour. Plus you can stand and listen to that sound for almost 10 to 15 minutes and the train never comes. Around dawn every thing seems to go back to being normal, no noises, no footsteps from unseen followers, nothing.

Ivanhoe - Rustburg,Virginia
The ghost in lavender, her remains lie in an ivy covered grave in the old burying ground, is thought to be the wife of the original owner. There is a story of a peddler murdered in one of the upper rooms in the long ago. Guests occupying the room heard alarming noises, had bedclothes removed in the night, or found them on the floor when going to bed. Two young men saw a pillow fly across the room. In this same room, there is a bloodstain on the floor. Attempts to remove the stain were unavailing. Soon after re-staining the floor,the spot would reappear. Some nights, near the house, you can hear the sound of heavy strokes of an axe chopping a tree and the labored breathing of the chopper.

Railroad tracks - West Point,Virginia
Legend has it that a conductor was walking down the tracks holding a lantern when a train passed by. A chain was hanging off of the train and t decapitated the man.Supposedly you can see the lantern swinging back and forth going up and down the tracks searching for his head. Also, if you look up in the trees, you can see a white light hiding in the trees. I've seen a black figure on the side of the tracks that comes toward the car from the left and it will cross the tracks and you can see it go toward to the other end of town. Sometimes the thing will follow you to Churchville
road and ten turn around. There has also been a sighting of the old day
train cars that took 2 people to move. The cars that look like they
have a seesaw, which moves the train car.

Old haunted orphan houses - Woodbridge,Virginia
Many years ago off of Route 1 in Woodbridge, Virginia were several houses that belonged to old families who would adopt orphans as a way of life. The problem is that big corporal companies came in to build over the houses and so the families were evicted. Years later when the land had begin to furnish again, contractors decided to build over the houses since the plan to construct when they had been torn down had been shunned.
When construction began several appearances had been sighted of children running around and giggling in the woods. Machinery started to malfunction and people started to disappear in the woods when bodies of the children had been found in unmarked stone graves around the houses.
The area of land is located across from the junkyard that sits across the street from the original orphan house all the way to the forest miles behind and next to Potomac library. The only people who were able to survive in the area and camp there were homeless people. It is said that the orphans take pity on their misfortune and spare them the life they had previously lead. That goes to show even the dead show sympathy.
The Old Haunted Orphan Houses in Woodbridge, Virginia are a spooky attraction for those who love horror and mystery. According to some sources, these houses were once home to families who adopted orphans, but were forced to leave when big corporations wanted to build over the land. Years later, when contractors tried to resume the construction, they encountered strange phenomena, such as children's voices, malfunctioning machines, and unmarked graves. Some say the orphans' spirits still haunt the area, except for the homeless people who camp there and receive their sympathy. The Old Haunted Orphan Houses are located off of Route 1, across from the junkyard and next to Potomac library. If you dare to visit them, be prepared for a terrifying experience.

Boarding School - Alexandria, Virginia
At the boarding school in Alexandria, there is a section in the rear portion of the campus reserved as woods. During the Civil War, however, these woods were actually a trench that connected Union forts through Virginia and Maryland. Overtime, however, foliage has grown up where the trench once was. It has been reported that in the woods the sounds of soldiers and horses may be heard. No actual sightings of ghosts have been reported. The school itself was once a Union hospital and it has been said that one can hear the sound of screaming victims of the war�s atrocities.
