Let us embark upon a short journey through historic Staunton as we travel back to the American Civil War for a haunted adventure. Join us as we shall examine the historic aspect of the war and its effect it had upon Staunton.

Certainly the war left a mark upon the Queen City, a mark or imprint that continues to this very day. Because you see, Staunton is indeed haunted. Some folks would actually say the town is very haunted. Much of the haunted and paranormal activity in Staunton is
directly related to the American Civil War. It is certainly no wonder as Staunton was a focal point and objective of the Union army from the start of the war because of the town's
direct link to Richmond via the Virginia Central Railroad.

Famous generals such as Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Ulysses Grant, David Hunter, Judbal Early, John Bell Hood and Pierre Beauregard all made appearances here in the Queen City. Some several times during the war such as Lee and Jackson.

Your tour will include stops at Mary Baldwin University, Glo Fiber Building, Staunton Depot Station and the American Hotel. Stories include Mary Baldwin and the Union Army, Murder at John Beck's Saloon, D. C. McLewery - wrong place wrong time, Haunts of the Selma Mansion, Suicide of Henderson Coe. Your last stop and story is Dead and Wounded at the Depot Station.

This will included a visit INSIDE the American Hotel. The American Hotel served as a receiving hosptial during the war from 1862 until 1865. The hotel was no stranger to death and sickness. The hotel is labled as HAUNTED and is quite paranormally active
as numerous paranormal investigations has occurred here over the years.

Our adventure and investigation of the Buckhorn Inn located in Churchville, Virginia in April of 2023.
Buckhorn Tavern as it was called back in the day was a stagecoach stop and gambling house along the Staunton Parkersburg Turnpike. It also served as a civil war hospital after the battle of McDowell in 1862.

Haunted Travels -- We travel just down the road to McDowell Battlefield in McDowell Virginia. This battle fought on May 8th, 1862 was the first victory for Confederate General Thomas Stonewall Jackson that established his brilliant 1862 Valley Campaign.

Many military experts regard the campaign as a military masterpiece during the Civil War.

Reports are the battlefield may be haunted. Strange mists have been sighted there, shrieks and crying from what sounds like wounded soldiers as well what some people claim may be the rebel yell scream..
