Experience phantom revelry at Charlottesville's historic Michie Tavern

Sometimes ghosts are said to move with an object, and that’s certainly the case for Michie Tavern southeast of Charlottesville, Virginia. Scottish immigrant John Michie (pronounced Mickey) originally raised this tavern in 1784 approximately 17 miles from Charlottesville along Old Buck Mountain Road. He was a supporter of the patriot cause during the American Revolution. A local entrepreneur named Mrs. Josephine Henderson moved Michie’s tavern to its current location at the foot of Carter’s Mountain in 1927 and opened it as a museum. At least a few revelers enjoyed their time at Michie Tavern so much they never left. Over the years, guests and staff have heard the sound of carousal coming from the third-floor ballroom, even when it is empty! #virginia #haunted #paranormal #ghoststories #hauntedplaces #supernatural #spooky #creepy
