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.

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
𝑱𝒐𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓, 𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒆 𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 160 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒕…
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.

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞:
– We will be breaking into small groups to investigate each location. Each group will be led by an investigator with equipment that may help you on your investigation!
– We will be investigating outdoors for the first portion of the investigation (Cold Harbor Battlefield). Please dress accordingly.
– We will be traveling outdoors to different buildings during the investigation at Hanover Tavern. The buildings do have HVAC and will be heated, but please dress accordingly.
– We will be utilizing our own personal vehicles for traveling from Cold Harbor Battlefield to Hanover Tavern. Please plan accordingly. If you plan to attend with a friend, consider carpooling and leaving your car ahead of time at Hanover Tavern. Parking is limited at Hanover Tavern, but additional parking is available across the street directly behind the Historic Hanover Courthouse and Old Stone Jail.
– Please do not put on fragrances prior to the investigation. Smells and scents are often reported at haunted locations as a sign of spirit activity, and it will be difficult to identify if we are wearing fragrances.
– Please do not wear loose jewelry, baggy clothing, etc. These often make extra sounds and noises that will make listening to and identifying E.V.P.s difficult!
– There will be identified location(s) outside for you to smoke. All forms of cigarettes, vapes, e-cigs, etc. are not to be utilized while within any buildings. There will be an identified receptacle for cigarette butt disposal.
– Please do not plan to investigate under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You will be asked to leave if so.
– Weapons of any and all kinds are strictly forbidden.
– Ouija Boards are strictly forbidden.
– “Crossing over”, “Smudging”, and “Provoking” are strictly prohibited.
– Bring your equipment! We’ll have some that you can use within your groups, but you are welcome to bring any equipment you have for investigating that you can carry with you. A flashlight is highly encouraged. Additionally, if you do not have an audio recorder, bring your phone! We’ll ask you to put it in airplane mode, but you can still record audio onto your cellphone – a large number of people on our investigations have recorded EVPs on their phones!

This investigation is for you, so bring your ideas and thoughts for investigating! You never know what, or who, you will run into, and we value your unique ideas and suggestions for investigating these locations! We urge you to be ready to be involved in the investigation! Think of some questions you’d like to ask in advance, if you have any theories that we can test out, and more!

A Haunting Evening at Octagon Mansion
2024-03-23 18:30 - 2024-03-24 02:00 (America/New_York) | The Octagon Mansion at 585
𝑼𝒔𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒅𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒅20 𝒂𝒕 𝑪𝒉𝒆𝒄𝒌-𝑶𝒖𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 $20 𝒐𝒇𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆! 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚!

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.

Join Transcend Paranormal, VAPOR, Ghost City Tours, and the Gettysburg Battlefield Bash for a spine-tingling evening of paranormal investigating at the never-before-investigated historic Knoxlyn Ridge House. Built in 1852, this house stands as a silent witness to the bloodshed and turmoil of the Civil War. While unconfirmed, the house was most likely used as a field hospital during the war, as it’s floors are still stained red with the blood of soldiers who fought – and died – within its walls. Both Union and Confederate forces occupied the house, and the echoes of the past still resonate here.
Standing just 300 yards East of where the first shot of the Battle of Gettysburg was fired, the Knoxlyn Ridge House offers a unique and chilling backdrop for an unforgettable investigation and evening.

Paranormal Investigation - One Night, Four Locations!
2024-11-02 20:15 (America/New_York) | 13181 Hanover Courthouse Rd, Hanover, VA, United States, Virginia 23069
Join Transcend Paranormal for an evening unlike any other, as we venture hundreds of years into the past…
The evening will begin at 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, Old Stone Jail, and The Clerk of Courts building as well – each a hotbed for paranormal activity.
For years, guests of each of these locations report eerie experiences of ghost apparitions, smells, and unexplainable noises. Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? Are prisoners still confined to their cells, locked in time? Find out for yourself!

Haunted Hanover: A Paranormal Investigation
2025-03-08 18:30 (America/New_York) | 6005 Cold Harbor Rd, Mechanicsville, VA 23111-6925, United States
Join Hanover Tavern Foundation for an evening unlike any other, as we travel 160 years into the past…
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 one of the very few times 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.

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.

2025's Final Paranormal Investigation!
2025-11-01 20:00 (America/New_York) | 13181 Hanover Courthouse Rd, Hanover, VA, United States, Virginia 23069
Join Hanover Tavern Foundation and Transcend Paranormal as we delve into the paranormal once more at two of Central Virginia’s most haunted locations: the Hanover Tavern and Pole Green Church!
Join us November 1st to investigate not one, but several locations in one night. The Hanover Tavern, the Old Stone Jail, the Historic Courthouse, and Pole Green Church are all tied together in history; and now you’ll be able to investigate each of them.
Our evening begins at the historic Polegreen Church. Built in 1747, the church stood for more than a century as a monument to the Hanover Dissenters and Samuel Davies in their struggle for religious libery in pre-revolution America. During 1864, Polegreen Church rested squarely in the center of Union and Confederate forces as they clashed. During the attack, Union forces overran Confederate outer positions and occupied the church. In efforts to dislodge the Union sharpshooters, Confederate artillery began firing upon the church, which ultimately led to the church being set ablaze. The property is now owned and maintained by the Historic Polegreen Church Foundation.
Afterwards, we will make our way to the historic 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 these locations have reported eerie experiences of ghostly apparitions, phantom smells, and unexplainable noises. Are previous Hanover Tavern keepers still roaming the halls? Are early Hanover residents still making their way to the ghostly remnants of the historic Polegreen Church? It’s time to find out for yourself.
This is a fundraising investigation! All proceeds of this event directly and entirely benefit Hanover Tavern Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
All Experience Levels are Welcome.

Paranormal Investigation
2026-07-18 21:00 (America/New_York) | 13181 Hanover Courthouse Rd, Hanover, VA, United States, Virginia 23069
Join us July 18th 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.
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.
This is a fundraising investigation! All proceeds of this event directly and entirely benefit Hanover Tavern Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
