A Haunting Evening at Octagon Mansion

These words were written by Captain Fortescue of the 2nd West Virginia Cavalry as he thought back to his brief time spent in Wytheville, Virginia.
“𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡” found its name on July 18th, 1863. 5 days earlier, a brigade of 870 Union soldiers departed their base camp in Charleston, West Virginia, with orders to disable the Virginia & Tennessee Railroad as quietly as possible. Little did this undersized brigade know of what destiny had laid out for them on the days to follow.
When the Union soldiers approached Wytheville in the early evening of July 18th, they quickly found their plans foiled; the Union army, and the town of Wytheville, had heard of their march and were ready, bearing arms. As they charged into town, Confederate soldiers and Civilians opened fire. As Private Joseph Sutton of the 2nd WV Cavalry described Wytheville, it was “an avenue of death”. Civilians used the cover of their own homes and businesses to fire upon the army – “an irregular but most successful combat”. A newspaper described the battle as a “desperate fight”, with the locals “shooting them down like sheep, and producing great consternation amongst them”, their bodies scattered along the roads and mountain paths.
The official count of causalities and losses is estimated somewhere around 300 troops dead, wounded, captured, or missing in action, with another 300 horses either dead or left to die.

Construction began in 1870 by H.Q.A. Boyer, but wasn’t completed until 1886 by Reverend D.A. Snow. Since then, it has been host to many families and businesses, including a bakery, real estate office, and numerous restaurants.
In the 1950’s, Wytheville was a hotspot of the Polio Epidemic. Of the towns inhabitants, 184 people contracted the disease – with 17 of them dying. As the epidemic progressed, ambulances became scarce, forcing hearses from local funeral homes to drive patients to nearby hospitals.
It then sat empty for a decade until 2019, when it was purchased by John Cushman. Shortly after purchasing the building, John began experiencing paranormal on-goings. The sounds of doors closing, conversations, watching objects fly across the room, and seeing uninvited guests are only a few of the paranormal experiences documented within the walls.

Haunted Hanover: A Paranormal Investigation
2024-03-09 18:45 - 2024-03-10 01:30 (America/New_York) | Cold Harbor Battlefield Park, 6005 Cold Harbor Rd, Mechanicsville, VA, 23111, US

The evening will begin at Hanover County’s Cold Harbor Battlefield. From May 31 to June 12, 1864, the Battle of Cold Harbor raged on. One of the final battles of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign, this battle is remembered as one of the bloodiest and most lopsided battles of American history. With over 18,000 casualties and losses, the land this battle occurred on is stained in energy, emotion, and history.
This will be only the second time a public investigation has ever been held at the Cold Harbor Battlefield – the first being over 4 years ago. It’s time we go back – and we want YOU to join us.
After we complete our investigation at Cold Harbor Battlefield, we’ll get into our cars and travel to the Hanover Tavern. The earliest portion of the Tavern being built in 1791, there was a Tavern on the property spanning back to 1733. One of only a few surviving colonial-era Taverns in the United States, the Hanover Tavern hosted such historic figures as George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, Patrick Henry, P.T. Barnum, Marquis de Lafayette, and more. Both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern on their way to and from the battlefields.
Not only will you have the opportunity to investigate Hanover Tavern, but also the Historic Courthouse and Old Stone Jail as well – both hotbeds for paranormal activity.
For years, guests of each of these locations report eerie experiences of ghost apparitions, smells, and unexplainable noises. For the first time ever, we have access to investigate those claims. Are Union and Confederate soldiers still waging war at Hanover County’s Cold Harbor Battlefield? Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? It’s time to find out for yourself.

There has been a Tavern on the property since 1733, when the first license for a Tavern at Hanover Courthouse was issued. The existing Tavern was built in stages and includes more than 12,000 square feet on three floors. The earliest surviving portion of this building dates back to 1791, with additions in the 1820’s, 1830’s and the 1990’s.
Such historical figures as George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, Marquis de Lafayette, Patrick Henry, P.T. Barnum, and even Edgar Allen Poe graced the halls of Hanover Tavern. During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern.

With so much history packed into this building, has every guest that checked into Hanover Tavern truly checked out? The numerous paranormal teams who have investigated the Tavern would tell you “no”, citing disembodied voices, full body apparitions, and countless EVPs suggesting that no one is ever truly alone in the Tavern.

Fleetwood ParaCon 2022
2022-09-10 10:00 - 2022-09-11 02:00 UTC | Historic Fleetwood Church, 19526 Brandy Road, Brandy Station, 22714, United States
Tickets on sale now! Join your hosts, Spirit Guides Paranormal and Transcend Paranormal as we rally once more to raise funds for the continued renovation of the historic Fleetwood Church in Brandy Station, Virginia!
We can’t tell you how excited we are to be able to do this again, and we want you to join us!

Established in 1880, the Fleetwood Church is a hauntingly beautiful building that stands upon historic grounds; one of the history’s greatest cavalry engagements took place just paces away. Less than 20 years earlier, on June 9, 1863, these grounds saw over 20,000 troops – including 17,000 cavalry – engaged in battle. It was this battle that ended the Confederate cavalry’s dominance in the East, and established the Federal cavalry as a strong and confident force. Another 20+ battles and skirmishes occurred right in this general area, making it the most fought over area in American history.

With over 1,400 casualties and losses on these grounds, has every soldier truly gone home? Some beg to differ – most notably the numerous paranormal teams who have investigated the Fleetwood Church. Could this activity stem from the fact that the Union army had to move on, leaving the dead to be poorly buried – or worse, not at all? Reportedly, five months after the battle, the Union returned to the land to find no bodies – only gnawed on bones scattered all throughout the battlefield and surrounding areas.

Fleetwood Church is now privately owned and maintained by Steve Pollett & Historic Fleetwood Church, LLC. Steve has been tirelessly working to restore the building to its original state. Through your support, we can help make this happen.

This is a Fundraising Event! Proceeds of this event will go to Fleetwood Church for its continued restoration efforts!

2022-07-23 08:30 - 2022-07-24 08:30 UTC | Hanover Tavern, 13181 Hanover Courthouse Road, Hanover, VA, 23069, United States
In recent months, paranormal investigators at the Hanover Tavern and surrounding buildings have noticed a spike in activity; residual hauntings giving way to intelligent, full body apparitions, increased audible voice phenomena, and more.

With such an increase, Transcend Paranormal and other paranormal teams have been diligently working to document the paranormal on-goings.

It’s time to head into the night once more in pursuit of these on-goings. Join us July 23rd to investigate not one, but FOUR locations in one night. The Hanover Tavern, the Old Stone Jail, the Historic Courthouse, and the Hanover Branch Library are all tied together in history; and now you’ll be able to investigate each of them.

The earliest portion of the Tavern being built in 1791, there was a Tavern on the property spanning back to 1733. One of only a few surviving colonial-era Taverns in the United States, the Hanover Tavern hosted such historic figures as George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, Patrick Henry, P.T. Barnum, Marquis de Lafayette, and more. Both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern on their way to and from the battlefields.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐉𝐚𝐢𝐥
Built in 1835, the Old Stone Jail was not a place you wanted to spend any time; criminals of all kinds were kept within these walls. The jail consists of 4 rooms; 2 cells occupy the lower floor, one cell on the upper floor, and one room that housed the jail’s warden and his men. It wasn’t until 1916 that glass windows were installed in the building. Prior to this, the only thing protecting inmates indoors from the cold, harsh winters outdoors were iron bars.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞
The Third-longest continuous-use courthouse in the United States sits here in Hanover County; the Historic Hanover Courthouse. Built in 1735, the courthouse saw countless cases. Most significantly, this Courthouse played host to Patrick Henry when he argued the Parsons’ Cause case – a spark of the American Revolution. Many troops passed by the Courthouse – both during the Revolutionary War and Civil War. Sustaining mild damage during the American Revolution, the courthouse was repaired in time to see further conflict during the Civil War. The Battle of Hanover Courthouse brought heavy skirmishes to the area on May 27, 1862, and when the Union forces returned to the Courthouse at the end of May 1864, they imprisoned Hanover County’s Clerk of Court.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲
Built in the 1940’s, the Hanover Branch Library resides on land once part of the Hanover Tavern property. Directly at it’s back door lies the Thilman Burial Grounds, where previous Tavern owners and family were laid to rest. Build directly across the street from the Old Stone Jail, the Hanover Branch Library rests on hundreds of years of history.

For years, guests of each of these locations report eerie experiences of ghost apparitions, smells, and un-explainable noises. For the first time ever, we have access to investigate those claims. Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? Are inmates still inhabiting the cells of the Old Stone Jail? Or are court cases still being played out to this day in the Historic Courthouse? It’s time to find out for yourself.

We have investigated all of these locations numerous times and have come away with proof of the paranormal on every visit. Guests of these locations often report eerie experiences of ghostly apparitions, smells, and noises that could never be explained.

EnigmaCons 2022
2022-04-23 | VA
EngimaCons is an all-inclusive one day conference at St Albans Sanatorium.
St. Albans has had a very rich history. This area was witness to multiple clashes between Native Americans and the settlers from the Old World. During the War Between the States northern forces shelled Radford – then a small place called Central Depot from the ridge that overlooks the river which St Albans would be built on. After the brutal war St Albans Boys School was founded in 1892. In the early 1900’s St Albans became a treatment center for those suffering from mental issues. The haunting history of St. Albans was born even before the building stood on the property.
Today, St. Albans Sanatorium is a paranormal research center, and quite possibly one of the most haunted locations on the East Coast.
Join Transcend Paranormal, along with a slew of amazing teams and speakers as we raise funds for the continued restoration and preservation of this 130+ year old building.

What lurks in the shadows of Scotchtown and Hanover Tavern after dark?
It’s time for you to find out for yourself.
Join Transcend Paranormal, Hanover Tavern Foundation, and Preservation Virginia as we delve into the paranormal once more at two beautiful historic locations. We are once again pairing up with Preservation Virginia, Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown, and the Hanover Tavern to investigate Scotchtown and Hanover Tavern – both in one evening!
These locations are tied in history; from Patrick Henry’s family, the Shelton family, and more. Many of those who visited the grounds of Scotchtown were also visitors of the Hanover Tavern and surrounding buildings.
You’ll have an opportunity to explore and investigate a total of 8 locations this evening, spread across 2 sites.
Scotchtown:

Scotchtown (Main House)
Kitchen House
Old Law Office
Grounds & Garden

Hanover Tavern:

Hanover Tavern
Old Stone Jail
Historic Courthouse
Smokehouse

We have investigated all of these locations numerous times and have come away with proof of the paranormal on every visit. Guests of these locations often report eerie experiences of ghostly apparitions, smells, and noises that could never be explained.
Admission is $65.
Reservations are required.
All Experience Levels Welcome!
This is a fundraising investigation! All proceeds of this event directly and entirely benefit Scotchtown and Hanover Tavern.

There has been a Tavern on the property since 1733, when the first license for a Tavern at Hanover Courthouse was issued. The existing Tavern was built in stages and includes more than 12,000 square feet on three floors. The earliest surviving portion of this building dates back to 1791, with additions in the 1820’s, 1830’s and the 1990’s.
Such historical figures as George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, Marquis de Lafayette, Patrick Henry, P.T. Barnum, and even Edgar Allen Poe graced the halls of Hanover Tavern. During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern.

With so much history packed into this building, has every guest that checked into Hanover Tavern truly checked out? The numerous paranormal teams who have investigated the Tavern would tell you “no”, citing disembodied voices, full body apparitions, and countless EVPs suggesting that no one is ever truly alone in the Tavern.

A Haunting Evening in Hanover
2021-11-06 18:30 - 2021-11-07 02:00 UTC | Beaverdam Depot, 16199 Beaverdam School Road, Beaverdam, VA, 23015, United States
As the Civil War waged on across Virginia, one county in particular sat in it’s crosshairs: Hanover County. Bathed in not one, but two major American wars, Hanover County is home to a vast amount of history. Intertwined in it’s stories of greatness and woe lay mysteries, hidden in dark corners of history – just out of sight from the mere passerby. However, late at night, bathed in the the pale light of the moon, those who dare might just be offered a glimpse into these mysteries…
The only question left is….Do You Dare?
We’re kicking the evening off at the Beaverdam Depot. Originally built sometime between 1836 and 1840, the Beaverdam Depot was a hot-bed of Civil War activity. The Depot changed hands or was destroyed at least three times, with it being fully restored as it stands today in 1866. Beaverdam Depot was a strategic point for transporting soldiers and goods, and it was here that the infamous “Grey Ghost” John Mosby was captured.
Next, we’re hopping in our cars and heading to a place of much strife; the North Anna Battlefield. From May 23 through May 26th, 1864, the Battle of North Anna raged on. The armies of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and General Robert E. Lee engaged in a series of actions against each other, ultimately resulting in a stalemate. The result? Out of the combined 117,000 – 153,000 men that engaged in war on this battlefield, over 5,500 were killed, wounded, or captured. As the troops moved out of the area, they found themselves just days later at another familiar location….Cold Harbor.
Finally, we’re hitting the road once more for our final destination of the evening; the Hanover Tavern, Historic Hanover Courthouse, and Old Stone Jail. The earliest portion of the Tavern being built in 1791, there was a Tavern on the property spanning back to 1733. One of only a few surviving colonial-era Taverns in the United States, the Hanover Tavern hosted such historic figures as George Washington, Lord Cornwallis, Patrick Henry, P.T. Barnum, Marquis de Lafayette, and more. Both Union and Confederate troops utilized the Tavern on their way to and from the battlefields. Not only will you have the opportunity to investigate Hanover Tavern, but also the Historic Courthouse and Old Stone Jail as well – both hotbeds for paranormal activity.
For years, guests of each of these locations report eerie experiences of ghost apparitions, smells, and unexplainable noises. For the first time ever, we have access to investigate those claims. Are Union and Confederate soldiers still waging war at Hanover County’s North Anna Battlefield and Beaverdam Depot? Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? It’s time to find out for yourself.

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟎’𝐬 as you join Transcend Paranormal & the Conner Sisters on a paranormal investigation of the Dunnlora Inn.
Located in the small town of Mineral, Virginia, the Dunnlora Inn was built in 1916 by George and Selina Erginbright. The Erginbright’s passed Dunnlora down through the generations, until it was purchased by Tony and Shenia Wong in 2016. Since then, odd occurrences have become the normal within these walls.
Paranormal activity began to spike almost immediately upon renovating the house; equipment would come unplugged, workers would report seeing ghostly figures walking through the halls, and on numerous occasions would hear talking in the Inn – when no one else was there. Overnight guests have heard doors open and close, or the touch of someone playing with their hair as they sleep.
Since this time, numerous paranormal investigators and have visited the building in search of answers.

What secrets lay within the walls of this 104 year old building? Were tales of this boarding house being a brothel true? Did the building hide a speak-easy somewhere within? Most importantly, why did some guests check in, but never check out?
