Local legends surround this isolated family cemetery in Stafford, Virginia
Hidden in the woods along Telegraph Road in Stafford County sits the Brent Family Cemetery, the last remaining vestige of the first English Catholic settlement in Virginia. The Brent family came to Colonial Virginia in 1647 and thrived for over a century before moving on. In the 1930s, the Catholic Archdiocese of Richmond built a brick and stone altar in the cemetery in their honor. But with its isolated location, and discovery of a woman’s remains along the trail in 1998, rumors swirled that Satanists used it for darker purposes. A local legend tells of a witch named Edith who was executed and thrown into the pond. Since then, visitors come back with stories of strange sounds and shrieks from that vicinity. Storytellers say the water turns red in the spring, and some visitors have described seeing Edith’s spectral form flickering around the pond and in the nearby cemetery. #virginia #haunted #paranormal #ghoststories #hauntedplaces #supernatural #spooky #creepy
