Old House Woods in Mathews County, Virginia, located in the community of Diggs, is renowned for its intriguing legends and ghostly tales. Perhaps it’s because of the Chesapeake Bay, but through the years, this place has earned a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in that state.
Locals claim to have seen ghost ships floating, ghosts of British Revolutionary War soldiers digging for gold, and even a ghostly woman wandering the woods.
