Haunted Clarke County, Virginia

Haunted Clarke County, Virginia

In Clarke County, the spirits of the past bring history to life. The ghost of a brokenhearted Confederate soldier stares out a window waiting in vain for the return of the love of his life. Victims of a plane crash still linger at the scene of the tragedy forty-five years later. Union troops are still crossing the Shenandoah River through a hail of musket balls and cannon fire. From the legendary phantom coach of Carter Hall to lesser-known haunts along the county's back roads, a rock-throwing poltergeist, a smoky figure in a bedroom and strange creatures lurking in the woods, Michael Hess brings you the very best in Clarke County ghost lore. Michael D. Hess was born in the southwestern Virginia town of Richlands in 1973. His family relocated to Loudoun County in the mid-1980s, and in 2006, he moved to Stephens City and married Stefanie, a Clarke County native. Hess works full time as an engineering technologist and is the self-published author of four paranormal- and cryptozoology-themed books.
