We just got back from staying at a condo at Powhatan Resort Manor. One morning, I turned off the fire in the fireplace in the living room. When I arrived back, my husband said I had left it on. I know I turned it off.
One night, when driving up the driveway, I saw a light go on and off twice in the second floor window to the far right. It was very bright. Since, the house was closed for repairs I thought it might be a tool that was catching the light of my car. When I got back to the room, I checked on-line and read about the girl and the light.

Haunted Manor House by: Emily Christoff Flowers
I am so excited to have found this page. I am the tour guide at the Manor House at Powhatan. I wrote and conduct the ghost tours. The house is closed right now for renovations but should open again in the spring of 2012. I have permission for visitors who are not staying at the resort to attend the tours when we reopen. I intend to purchase more ghost hunting tools and to increase the tours running time to allow for a quick ghost investigation after each tour. Does that sound like fun?
I am doing alot of research while we await to reopen. I have discovered that one of our ghosts that is frequently sighted is linked to a well documented ghost at Jamestown. Google the ghost of Lydia Ambler, and you can read all about her. I am going Friday to check out the ruins of her house which is only 4 miles from the resort.
If you want to see more ghost photos and read my collection of witness statements please go to facebook and type in "Ghost Journals of a Haunted Manor House'. Anyone may join. You may also contact me through this page. The bizarre communications through a flashlight that were mentioned above have been recorded and posted on this site as well. I hope you enjoy, and thank you all so much for your love of history and the paranormal!

Most definitely haunted!! by: Anonymous
I have a picture on here of the orb I got in a picture in the manor as well..I knew the whole plantation was haunted and the religious people I was with didn't believe me..one night we were out on the deck and the vertical blinds in the hot tub room banged against the side of the sliding glass doors..I went in to investigate expecting to find a big rat or some other kind of animal...I looked everywhere in the hot tub room and there was nothing..also there was knocking on the bedroom window that was too high for anyone to reach!! And I heard my name called while I was in the bedroom..went out and asked the kids who was calling me and what they wanted..wasn't them..needless to say we all left believers!! Look for my orb pic I posted from the manor..only took one pic in there and did it hoping to catch a ghost(am somewhat of a ghost hunter) and got the orb!!

Spooky Powhatan by: R Henry
Just returned from 4th of July vacation. This place is spooky. Like one of the posters, I could not sleep AT ALL. I was tired from the days' activites but could not close my eyes at night. The first night, I dreamt that someone was watching me while I slept. The second night, although I am not a religious person, I kept getting the message to pray! The painting on the all of the Manor some how added to my discomfort. And to top it all, now that we are back home, my husband who sleeps thru anything, confessed that for some reason he could not fall asleep in the room!!!!

Spooky Powhatan resort experience by: Anonymous
So I just came back home from a stay at the Powhatan resort located in Williamsburg,V.A. I found it to be very nice, and me as well as my Family had a wonderful time. Although we could not go on the ghost tour during the time of our stay we did encounter something rather spooky. I, at this moment, wonder if anything similar has happened to anyone else. First of all, I didn't sleep very much any of our vacation. For the feeling of being watched. When I brought this to attention the second night of our stay, and we discussed the actual Manor house being on the property. Plus the idea of it being haunted I assumed it was imagination. I was scaring myself... but that night the kitchen faucet turned on while we were watching T.V. We thought at first it was my father brushing his teeth upstairs. After 10 min.'s we realized it was the sink full blast. I am a believer in the paranormal & came to believe something rather spooky resides here.

The Ghost Tour by: Anonymous
The Powhatan Plantation Manor House is a very interesting place indeed. My boyfriend and I just got back from a Vacation there. On the first night we took the tour as well. And like you I took about fifty pictures in the house and in only one did I catch an orb. It was in the front upstairs room of the house. During our tour Emily the guide tried the flash light experiment to try and talk to the ghost. The idea is that they can turn the light on and off if you ask them to. And like clock work it turn on and of as she asked it to. It was interesting to say the least. One of the other guest took several pictures during the flashlight experiment and in one the light looked like lightening. From what I experienced that night and other strange thing that happened at the resort while I was there, I am a true believer that something haunt the Manor.

Orb in the Condo by: Deb
Aug 7th 2010. We just came back from staying a week at Powhatan Resort and also took the Ghost tour. It was very interesting and I was on the fence about believing. At the beginning of each vacation, I take pictures of all the rooms in the condo before they are messed up. I took a picture of the master bedroom and when we got home I saw an orb above the bed. That was the only picture out of all of them that it was present. I am glad I saw it after I came home otherwise I would of been a little freaked out.
