Belle Grove Plantation, King George Va
March 9, 2018
Belle Grove Plantation was such a joy to investigate. Perched on the banks of the Rappahannock river, she is beautiful reminder of a time long past. Michelle and her husband have done such a great job of restoring and maintaining this historic landmark. We where only there for a short time but it was so much fun to learn about the history and spirits that still linger. Although not much happened at the time, there where plenty of photos to analyze later. There where definite shifts in the energy in the Turner room and the Madison room and we were seeing shadows and lights just outside of our peripheral vision all night. They have even been featured on Sci-Fi's Ghost Hunters. Not only are they a historic landmark they are also a bed and breakfast. Definitely check this place out and maybe book a stay overnight. They are having events all the time there, check them out online or on Facebook. http://www.bellegroveplantation.com/
