Rosewell was once a beautiful home before being destroyed in a house fire since 1916. However, the outer brick walls of the building have remained since then and the remaining structure has become a historical site that draws in over a thousand visitors per year. Located on the York River, Rosewell is home to plenty of paranormal activity.
There have been stories of apparitions of former slaves walking around the grounds and interacting with anybody who happens to be at the ruins during the night. The ghost of Letitia Dalton, a former resident of Rosewell who eventually died here, is said to appear when the atmospheric conditions are right. Finally, there have been a few sitings of what is considered Thomas Jefferson's ghost but those stories are far less credible than the last two.
Rosewell would be an interesting investigation due to the uniqueness of the case. If any of you Hampton Roads or VA Beach area groups investigate this place, let me know and I'll post a link to your findings at the bottom of this article.
