As the famous saying goes, “Virginia is for lovers,” but the state is also home to its share of the delightfully macabre. One example of this is Edgewood Plantation Bed and Breakfast, a 171-year-old hotel that’s purported to be haunted by a jilted southern belle named Lizzie Rowland.

The haunting of Edgewood Plantation Bed and Breakfast begins with Lizzie Rowland, a young woman who etched her name on one of the hotel's upstairs windows as she gazed out, looking for her long-lost lover. Rumor has it that Rowland spent her final days just watching from the bedroom window in the hopes that her lover would return to her from the Civil War.
