I haven’t mentioned any of the huanted establisments in Colonial Williamsburg for a few days so I thought I would take up where I left off with the Kings Arms Tavern
It is believed to be haunted by a woman named Irma. She lived and died in the 1700’a
As the story goes she died because of a fire when a candle was dropped. She isn’t seen very often, but she is heard speaking to staff and people have felt her presence. Irma blows out candles and helps the staff. She is very friendly. Rumor has it that the staff says goodnight to her each night upon closing for the evening.
Awww….I love that they say good night! That is so sad, death by candle. It reminds me why I am so nervous about fire.
The guy I talked to at Admiralty House talks to the ghosts there all the time, I think it’s one of the reasons why there isn’t much activity. He helps keep them feeling at home. He was such a sweetie, I wish you could have gone on that tour Patty.
