Haunted House

For one of my out class assignments, I decided to go to a haunted house. My parents know these people that own a house that has been in their family since 1803 and they were doing ghost tours. The house we went to was off of 460 in Dinwiddie. So we went to this house and learned some of the old customs that would be performed when somebody died.

When we started the tour we went to a room and we were shown pictures of an outdoor wedding, and in the photo you see a ghost on the wall. Come to find out, the woman's picture is on the other side of the wall once your in the house. So she was basically standing where her picture was on the opposite side. Our tour guide then told us to be quiet and then asked if the woman was there with us that night. We did not hear anything, but one of the candles started to flicker. The room did not have electrical lights so candles were all over the room, but one candle in particular began to dance in a way. I can not even describe how the candle began to move, its like the fire was shimmering or convulsing. Of course while this is happening all the other candles are being normal. After that we saw some other rooms and learned some history. We even got to go outside and visit the families graveyard. All in all it was a pretty interesting night.
