Berkeley Plantation Ghost Hunt, Charles City, VA - Friday November 13, 2026
Advertisement
Join Haunted Rooms America for an entire night of ghost hunting at one of Virginia's most historically fascinating and haunted homes!
Event Time: 6PM - 12AM
==========
THE HISTORY
==========
Berkeley Plantation, built in 1726 by Benjamin Harrison IV, is one of the oldest and most storied estates in Virginia. Home to the influential Harrison family, including two U.S. presidents, this grand Georgian mansion has witnessed significant moments in American history, from the early colonial period to the Civil War.
However, its history is marked by tragedy. In 1745 a lightning strike claimed the lives of Benjamin Harrison IV and one of his daughters, a loss that left a lingering mark on the mansion. In 1862 the house served as General McClellan's headquarters, with Confederate prisoners held in the cellar.
These events have contributed to the plantation's reputation as a hub of paranormal activity, with reports of ghostly apparitions and unexplained phenomena.
==============
THE PARANORMAL
==============
Visitors report a presence that still watches over the house, with objects moving and doors swinging open on their own.
A ghostly figure is said to be seen by the window where the tragic lightning strike occurred, and the window itself has been known to close on its own.
Along the riverbank, the apparition of a Civil War soldier and his young drummer boy companion can sometimes be seen, still patrolling the grounds as if their duties are not yet complete.
===============
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
===============
- Exclusive access to the mansion's main floor and basement.
- Ghost Hunting Vigils led by experienced investigators.
- Structured Vigils in the mansion's most active locations.
- Use of Paranormal Equipment, including EMF meters, trigger objects, and recording devices.
- Private Time to explore the mansion and conduct your own investigations.
