The Harpers......

Governor Meade (CvP-Virginia) found dead in Harpers Ferry Homestead

Left: Harpers Ferry, Virginia

     - Tragedy besieges Virginia as the popular Conservative Governor George Meade was found dead in his Harpers Ferry home. This is believed to have happened as a result of what appears to be a homicide. There was significant evidence that Governor Meade had taken his Richmond 1852 Navy Revolver and shot himself twice in the head, but not only do the finger prints not match on the gun, it is near impossible for anyone to inflict two gunshot wounds to their own head. Mrs. Meade, who was in town at the time, believes her husband was murdered. She has come out and said that the prime suspect is Virginian State Delegate Thomas Hooker, a member of the Dixiecrat party, who supposedly said back in 2015, while in Richmond, Virginia, that he was going to murder Governor Meade as soon as a Dixiecrat won the Lt. Governors seat.

HISTORY & DESCRIPTION

   The village of Harper's Ferry has a long hiThe story of bloody violence and natural disasters, earning the name of being "a child of tragedy." As a result, it is thought to be one of the most haunted places in North America.

   1) The real violent events started in 1859, when John Brown thought that Harper's Ferry would be a perfect place to set up his headquarters, in any of the excellent hideouts, where he could store weapons and troops to defeat the slave owners and be on his way to establish a slave-free place for runaway slaves. However, when the federal forces arrived to wipe out Brown and his army, many people living there were killed in the process.

    2) Because of its location, Harper's Ferry was in the middle of many battles during the Civil War, which also resulted in many horrible deaths of some men, but mostly women and children.

   3) Those who survived the battles, suffered and sometimes died in cholera epidemics and periodic flooding.

MANIFESTATIONS:

     Many restless spirits walk the streets of Harper's Ferry, and wander in and out of the buildings and historic homes. The most haunted house at Harper's Ferry is the National Park Service's guest house, used by visiting federal employees, doing various projects.

   1) A Georgetown federal employee met a glaring, glowering but good looking man, dressed in a brocade vest, wearing a top hat and holding a cane, who was standing at the head of the servant's stairway, at the end of the hall. As he was emitting hostile vibes, she ran to the balcony door, where she felt an invisible hand pushing her in the back, causing her to stumble. She turned around and he vanished.

   2) This same Federal employee met a woman apparition on the staircase, dressed in a long, gray, hooded dress, who was holding the hand of an eight year old child. Both ignored the employee and vanished.

   3) A planner from Denver staying at this same guest house saw the same good-looking, glaring man in the brocade vest, at the end of the hall, and the woman dressed in the long, gray-hooded dress, with the little girl. All vanished before the planner's eyes.

   4) A researcher was taking a quick nap on the sofa in the front room, He awoke and felt that someone was watching him. He then saw a man dressed in 19th century work clothes run by his sofa, carrying a dean man. Both disappeared in the hallway.

OTHERS

        A) At another historic house, located in the center of Harper's Ferry, Mr. C and his kids lived on the top floor. For months on and off, Mr. C. was awakened by a little child's pitiful, heart-wrenching cry, which seemed to come from his bedroom closet. Mr. C., while doing the dishes late at night, saw a glowing white object float out of his closet and move toward his bed before vanishing. After going back to the dishes, a tremendous crash shook the house. After a thorough inspection, nothing was out of order. A possible explanation of this haunting can be found in a recently found dairy of a Civil War era woman, which tells the sad tale of a baby's death caused by a fallen chimney, which happened in the middle of a Civil War battle which was fought at Harper's Ferry.

        B) John Brown's Farmhouse Headquarters - is called the Kennedy Farmhouse, which is a 200 year old restored, log cabin, located 5 miles outside the main town. Brown and his 21 men slept upstairs in the small attic. Witnesses have heard John Brown's ghost pace back and forth on the top two floors. Footsteps of a crowd of people can be heard going up the steps. Sounds of people talking, breathing and snoring have been heard as well. . One psychic claimed to have made contact with John Brown himself, who was "pleased" with the renovation work done on his old headquarters.

An apparition reassembling John Brown himself has been seen walking down the streets of Harper's Ferry, occasionally smiling at a visitor. He obligingly posed for a picture with some West Virginia tourists, who enthusiastically asked him to join them. When these tourists got their pictures back, there was a blank space where the old man had stood, though everyone else was accounted for.

        C) An unseen phantom Army, complete with fife and drum sounds, marches down Hight street.

        D) A little drummer boy, who was killed when a Union soldier threw him out of a window, cries for his mom.

         E) A young girl, who was burned in a 1830 fire, still screams for help.

     F) Father Costello's ghost can be seen praying for his congregation up on the hill at Saint Peter's Church.
