13. Staunton Train Depot,
Staunton
Relatively unknown on the paranormal scene until recently, this might be a calm place
during the day, but at night the spirits come
out. Who's haunting this place? A little girl
killed in a train accident? A Confederate
soldier who died before his time? Or an elderly patient of a certain Dr. DeJarnette who
operated a nearby mental hospital? The first
station building was burned down by Union
forces in 1864. The second station building
was destroyed by a train derailment in 1890.
The third station building from 1902 is now
a restaurant and the 1886 Signal Tower now
serves as the present day station.

This 1872 mansion, also called Carlheim,
is home of the Paxton Campus, an education center for young people with disabilities. Evidence suggests the Paxton family
is still here. There is a natural subterranean body of water under the old house. It
must also be noted that the Balls Bluff Battlefield is nearby.

...into the air, which when you account for
already present electromagnetic energy in
an area, can make that location an extremely energetic area, which could potentially fuel whatever paranormal occurrences take place there.
Studies of have shown that the 3 days before/after, and the day of a full and new
moon, are the best times to attempt to collect paranormal evidence. Now that you
know more about why things are usually
crazier on full moons, you can now refine
your techniques.
Be safe and happy hunting!
