Ferry Plantation

Virginia Beach, VA

Built in 1830 by George and Elizabeth (Walke) MacIntosh in Virginia Beach, VA Ferry Plantation is considered a National Historic Landmark.

It’s not known for certain who haunts the house but there is plenty of history to make it paranormal.  Not too far from the home you can find a native American Indian burial site of the Chesepian Indians that might contribute to some of the paranormal happenings.  Some of the paranormal claims consist of lights turning themselves on and a former slave named Henry that still walks around the house telling investigators that he likes it there and decided (after emancipation) that he still would not leave.  The house currently offers both daytime investigations for groups and nighttime investigations for the paranormal groups by themselves.

  • Dining Room – this is where we caught the EVP, ‘General Lee, could you please pass the butter?’ (Well, not really. But it’s easily imagined sitting in a Confederate room in pitch dark. 🙂
  • Fireplace – where Henry, a former slave at the house, has been seen stoking a non-existent fire.
