A hydroelectric plant sits abandoned on Richmond’s Belle Isle. What lurks in its shadows?

Traces of human activity on Belle Isle date back hundreds of years. In the twentieth century, the Virginia Electric Power Company operated a hydroelectric power plant on Belle Isle. The ruins of the power plant and a nail factory can still be seen to this day. Since opening to the public, visitors have described strange encounters with phenomena ranging from disembodied voices to twinkling lights and anomalous photographs. #secretvirginia #virginia #richmond #richmondva #spooky #creepy #abandoned #urbanexplore #belleisle #belleislerichmond #belle_isle #urbex #decay #explore
