The Baby
My mother-in-law used to live in a house at the junction of Rt. 7 and Rt. 20. Her youngest son was only a few months old and she would push his crib against the wall by the fireplace, so he wouldn't get cold in the wintertime.
She would walk into...

Wirt Co. Ghost
I was told this story by my adoptive mother, who was born in Wirt County. I've also heard it from older family members.

When he first started there and until this day...

Beyond The Cabin Door
Somethings, are even more frightening when not seen. This is a story, of such a time. The boys were anxious to make an early start, Gary and James were brothers, Carl and Jesse were their cousins. The boys had grown up together, known each other their entire lives. The...
Dry Bridge Farm
This house was built in the 1700's by a man by the last name of Fairfax. I have all the data on it. I had heard when I was a child that my mother (who later died in the house) had seen apparitions. I know when I grew up...
I Am Not Cynical Anymore
I know this may be hard to believe, and I used to be a non-believer, so to speak, but this honest to goodness, swear upon a bible happened to my husband and me.
