Paris, Virginia Ghost Tales

(...) I'll give you some real stuff to consider. I grew up in the ''Red House'' on Paris Mountain, also known as La Grange, which is a 200+ year old house. Apparently La Fayette stayed there during the Revolutionary War (hence the name), and it was the home of a postmaster general during Grant's administration. My mom actually managed to find a picture of him on the porch (not sure if she still has it). It is said that Union and Rebel soldiers fought nearby, if not in the yard, but I can't confirm that. Needless to say, lots of history in this house. I personally saw this ghost who was dressed in  
    colonial garb, leaning with head down on the mantel of the fireplace in the kitchen. This was obviously the most used room as the house had wood floors and this room's floor was the most worn. Probably
  not the kitchen over 200 years ago but it was our kitchen. This was in the middle of the day. Yes, broad daylight. My mother had spotted the same figure about a month earlier at the top of the drive but told nobody until I told her what I saw. I was about 16 years old at the time, an honor student. We heard lots of foot steps upstairs, boots or hard sole shoes on a wooden floor quite often. One problem - the upstairs was fully carpeted! Yes, hardwood floors under the carpet but. . .I'll leave it there for now. . .if anyone wants more info or a current resident wants to talk you can email me at info@dragonstargraphics.com.
