Edgewood Plantation Bed and Breakfast

4800 John Tyler Memorial Highway, Charles City, VA 23030, USA

Edgewood Plantation holds deep connections to American history, built in 1849 and playing roles in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, including serving as a Confederate lookout post. Its rich past seems to have left spiritual imprints, with numerous accounts of paranormal encounters. Among the most cited spirits is 'Lizzie' Rowland, said to have died of a broken heart awaiting her soldier fiancé who never returned from the Civil War; she reportedly etched her name in a window pane. Other spectral residents include various Civil War soldiers, like Aaron Young III, with whom past guests claimed to have conversed through the night. Reports also include suicides within the property, contributing to tales of footsteps on stairs and apparitions. Investigators and guests often report EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) of children, sightings of unidentified figures, and direct feelings of presence, making it one of Virginia's most actively haunted locations.
