Halloween season brings ghost hunters to Belle Grove Historic Belle Grove Plantation, the birthplace of President James Madison that is now King George’s most luxurious bed and breakfast, will host paranormal investigators and ghost hunters for the next week as it participates in Halloween activities. “Is Belle Grove Plantation haunted? Since arriving on the property, we have had several personal experiences as well as stories told to us about others experiences,” said Michelle Darnell, who operates the bed and breakfast and event venue with her husband, Brett. “In the time we have lived at the plantation, we have to say that none of the experiences are evil or malicious in nature. We feel they are just those that came before us that loved this plantation and never wanted to leave,” Darnell said. The Darnells are hosting a Paranormal Workshop and Ghost Hunts Oct. 25, 26 and 31. The workshop will be on Saturday, Oct. 26 featuring investigative medium Laine Crosby from 10:30 a.m. to noon. From 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. a Paranormal Team called
Southeastern Virginia Paranormal Investigations will be at Belle Grove to teach would-be ghost hunters how to hunt for ghosts the right way. On Oct. 25, 26 and 31, the SVPI team will host a Ghost Hunt at Belle Grove to see if the historic plantation is actually haunted. “We have had them here before and have gotten lots of results,” Darnell said. “And the funny thing is, ‘Are you haunted’ seems to be the second question we are asked on our tours.” The SVPI ghost hunters hosting the Ghost Hunt at Belle Grove are from Newport News. “This paranormal team of investigators has years of experience and is working on a new television pilot, ‘Paranormal Apprentice’. Belle Grove Plantation will be their second episode,” Darnell said. “If you have ever watched shows like ‘Ghost Hunters’ or ‘Ghost Adventures’ and wanted to be a part of a real paranormal investigation, then this is the event for you!,” Darnell declared. SVPI will bring all their paranormal equipment and will be take Belle Grove visitors and guests on
nighttime paranormal investigations. The Ghost Hunts will be conducted from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. Darnell said suites for overnight guests are still available, but urged visitors to call to book a suite or check availability. - Richard Leggitt
