• Ubon Thai Victorian Inn

  Staunton, Virginia · Hotel

  Visit Staunton names Mrs. Bagsly as the mischievous presence: doors unlock, rocking chairs move, and Room 7 is especially associated with the former owner.

• Wayside Inn

  Middletown, Virginia · Hotel

  Guests and staff described by CPRI report soldier-shaped apparitions in blue and gray uniforms in the lobby. Footsteps and indistinct conversation accompany the sightings, linking the inn’s ghost stories to its Civil War past.

• Weems-Botts Museum

  Dumfries, Virginia · Historic house

  CPRI says disturbances became associated with a 1974 restoration: beds were found rumpled, curtain rods shifted, and a Confederate soldier’s apparition was reported. These household disruptions distinguish the house’s lore from a single named-resident ghost.

• Woodlawn

  Alexandria area, Virginia · Historic house

  CPRI’s folklore directory describes spirits of earlier residents and guests at Woodlawn. One distinctive story links heightened disturbances to attempts to cover a well in the basement. George Washington is among the identities claimed in the tales.

• Wrexham Hall

  Chesterfield, Virginia · Historic house

  Wrexham Hall’s brief entry in CPRI’s directory identifies its reputed apparition as the Lady in Red. The inspected account supplies no encounter details or secure identity for the woman.
