Is the Peyton Randolph House cursed by a slave woman named Eve, or haunted by the agonized souls of Betty Randolph’s other slaves? Do the ghosts of two children who died at the home play in its halls? Or how about Civil War soldiers who succumbed to their wounds? Or is it because American Indian graves were disturbed during the building of the Colonial National Historic Parkway tunnel? It’s been called the most haunted house in America, possibly the most haunted on the East Coast, and certainly the most haunted in Virginia, but no one is quite sure why.
