Night Frights Scares Up Ghosts for Virginia Scaregrounds
Located near the northern border of Virginia, Virginia Scaregrounds' Paxton Manor is an eerie excursion into the supernatural. Built in 1877, the mansion was host to a series of untimely deaths for nearly a century until the death of matriarch Rachel Paxton at age 92. It's said that her ghostly image can still be seen roaming the grounds late at night, with reports of a ghastly image appearing in the second story window, lifting a long-dead finger to point to the bodies of her loved ones buried in the cemetery beyond.
Haunt director John Lombardi sought the help of the video artisans from Night Frights to reproduce the scene as a video projection to be cast in the actual window where the apparition is said to appear, giving visitors a chilling glimpse into the spirit life that lingers there.
