A young Thomas Jefferson spent his boyhood at this central Virginia plantation, but it is not where the ghost of that famous founding father is believed to roam. So who is Historic Tuckahoe’s mysterious phantom? Join our host, the mercurial Morella Belle, for Season 2 of the Secret Virginia Podcast, where we explore the hidden mysteries of the Old Dominion and its neighbors.

Partly constructed by William Randolph III in 1733, Tuckahoe in Goochland County, Virginia was completed in 1740. Its name comes from an Algonquian word for an edible root that grew along the nearby creek. Today it is among the most well-preserved Virginia plantations from that era. Some have seen the apparition of a woman dressed in gray, but its most famous phantom is a young bride often seen running down a path away from the house. #virginia #secretvirginia #hauntedstories
