Ghosts of Staunton
Shenandoah Valley Paranormal Society (SVPS) is conducting the “Ghosts of Staunton” ghost and history tour in Staunton, Virginia.
The newsleader.com has posted an article on the educational value of the tour as well as its entertaining value.
“We have a number of people that are very good at research within the group because research is really important to what we do,” said tour guide Shea Willis, an engineer by day and a ghost hunter by moonlight. “But we also have a professional historian on staff and that’s what she does for us.”
The first stop on the tour is the train station where Knox was fatally wounded after the sleeper car where her opera troupe was napping derailed. One of Knox’s legs was cut off below the knee, her left arm broken, her right shoulder dislocated and a piece of wood was buried in her thigh, severing the femoral artery and causing her to bleed to death. Knox’s spirit reputedly haunts the tracks and many eyewitnesses have reported seeing her peer in through the windows at the now-closed Pullman Restaurant, which also is an alleged paranormal hot spot.
It was along this cold, dark stretch of tracks where the tour guides showed off some of the tools of their trade and played recordings of electronic voice phenomena, or EVPs, caught on tape during their investigations. The EVPs had an eerie quality for some.
Sounds like a nice tour to take. We here at Spectral Review enjoy the historical accounts as much as the fun ghost stories. You can get information on attending the tour at the Ghosts of Staunton website.
