Northern Virginia is full of stories of bravery, tragedy, and ghosts. Take a tour of some of the most well-known haunts in the region, including Gadsby's Tavern, where a strange couple left a mystery behind, the Carlyle House, where a jealous female ghost resides, and the Woodlawn Plantation, where the ghosts of slaves still work. But hauntings are not limited to Alexandria. In Occoquan, there's a story of lust, jealousy, and murder that keeps an Indian ghost at the Occoquan Inn. In Dumfries, learn about the spirit of a girl who died in seclusion because people believed she was demon-possessed. In Leesburg, meet a little ghost girl looking to play Hide and Seek. From ghostly strangers and nightmares, to body parts found in unknowing residents' homes, you'll find them in Haunted Alexandria. AUTHOR: J. J..
