Industrial ruins dot Belle Isle in Richmond, but it's the ghosts of Yankee prisoners visitors fear

Since Belle Isle opened to the public, visitors have described strange encounters with phenomena ranging from disembodied voices to twinkling lights and anomalous photographs. Many attribute this activity to the ghosts of Union prisoners of war, but “orbs, voices and shadowy figures” have also been seen around the remains of the hydroelectric plant. Other visitors report being hit by small stones thrown by unseen hands. #secretvirginia #virginia #richmond #richmondva #spooky #creepy #abandoned #urbanexplore #belleisle #belleislerichmond #belle_isle #urbex #decay #explore
