Haunted Ferry Plantation

A haunted legacy on the Lynnhaven.

On the banks of the Lynnhaven River stands Ferry Plantation, former home of several prominent Virginia Beach families--and one of the most haunted places in the state. A spectral nanny is said to still care for ghosts of children, and an upstairs landing hosts the spirit of an artist that continues to paint for all eternity. The lingering presence of a young woman mourning the death of a fallen soldier haunts the halls, along with other mysterious sightings. The house has witnessed tragedy, death and celebrations, and all have left their mark.
