About This Project
I've lived in Virginia my entire life, from Northern Virginia to Hampton Roads, and have spent decades exploring the places where folklore, history, spirituality, and local culture overlap. This guide collects the stories, locations, and experiences that make Virginia one of the most interesting places to be a witch, history nerd, ghost story enthusiast, or curious traveler.
