The Virginia Governor’s Mansion, or Executive Mansion, is the oldest occupied governor’s mansion in the U.S., serving since 1813. In the 1890s, the apparition of a lady was seen sitting at the window by then-governor Philip McKinney. She was seen later by a police officer, and since then has caused many strange things to happen, such as the moving of paintings, causing of a light to stay on even when turned off, and an icy freeze in the basement on a hot day. The ghost’s identity is unknown.
