Steeped in legends, Colonial Williamsburg is the restored 18th century capital of Virginia and boasts enough ghost stories to send a chill up the spine. Steve Erickson, general manager of the Colonial Houses-Historic Lodging relays hotel guests' encounters. One guest stayed in the Orrell House (circa 1810) reporting the water was mysteriously turned on in the downstairs bathroom, a glass broken and the upstairs bathroom was wrapped in toilet paper like a Halloween night prank. A Brick House Tavern (circa 1760) guest reported the tramping sound of boots up the steps, through the front door, into her room then out through the gabled roof.
