I have always believed in ghosts and some form of life after death. I don't think all ghosts are bad in spite of how they're portrayed on television a majority of the time. In fact, one of my favorite television shows is Medium. It's about a woman who is able to communicate with the dead. Many in Richmond have heard tales of ghosts living in and near historic homes and landmarks in the Richmond, Virginia area. Some ghost tales are more believable than others but they are all interesting.
The Governor's Mansion in Richmond, Virginia seems an implausible place for a ghost to be seen, heard and felt. But in fact the earliest sighting of a ghost in the mansion is a young lady sitting in a window. This sighting took place in the early 1890's by then Governor Philip McKinney. He is surely a credible witness! Reportedly, the Governor had come inside, washed up in a bathroom, and entered a bedroom. He was startled to see a young lady sitting in the window. He checked with his wife and was told she had no visitors. When he rechecked the bedroom, the lady was gone. A search of the mansion ensued, but turned up no lady or any clues to her identity.
