Haunted Inns and Hotels of VA with Susan Schwartz

November 2, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

Virginia’s long history and many beauties attract millions of visitors each year–and some never leave. Join us as we plan a ghostly journey along Virginia’s byways with author and paranormal expert Susan Schwartz on Saturday, November 2nd from 1 to 3 PM.
Travel the Old Dominion in search of history and haunted lodging where you might find an extra visitor in your room that didn’t pay their share of the bill.  With some of the oldest inns in the country, Virginia has a multitude of options for travelers to sleep among the spirits. The historic Cavalier Hotel is haunted by the ghost of Adolph Coors, the beer magnate. Market Square Tavern is one of the original buildings in Williamsburg, and has some of the oldest haunts–including, possibly, Thomas Jefferson. The spirit of Mary Hooker still watches over her beloved home at King George’s Bell Grove Plantation. The family of the former owner of Natural Bridge Hotel are said to still walk the halls of historic building–after he killed them.
Susan Schwartz has been an avid writer for around 25+ years doing everything from writing freelance articles to editing  manuscripts for other authors. She enjoys writing horror stories that twist you in knots by the end. Her alter ego is an Operating Room Nurse/Nurse Educator who creates tales from the interesting and weird things she has seen over the years. Susan is a member of the Horror Writers Association and the Virginia Writers Club, where she served as President of the Richmond Chapter and 1st Vice-President of the state organization. She is working on two novels at present, a paranormal romance and a medical thriller.
