Edgewood Plantation - Real Charles City Haunted Place

Built in 1849 and situated on the oldest highway in the US, Edgewood Plantation was used as a lookout post by Confederate generals who were camped at nearby Berkeley Plantation during the Civil War. One of the house’s then-residents, Lizzie Rowland, kept a watchful eye as she waited for her love to return from the war, but he never did and so her spirit still watches from an upstairs window, yearning for the day he comes home. Today the old plantation has been turned into a Bed and Breakfast where you can eat, sleep and, if you’re lucky, catch a glimpse of Lizzie.
