Prince William County is home to many amazing historical sites, each with their own unique stories. Some of these stories include a ghostly nature, perfect for the Halloween season.

Here are several spooky stories from our sites along with upcoming programs for you to possibly have your own paranormal experience.


Press release:

The Virginia Health Care Foundation (VHCF) has awarded $40,348 to Northern Virginia Family Service for a medication assistance caseworker (MAC) at the Greater Prince William Community Health Center to help obtain prescription medicines for their sick, uninsured patients.


Signal lights are flashing at intersections in Woodbridge following a brief p;ower outage.

Signals at the intersections of Route 1 and Dale Boulevard, Route 1 and Neabsco Mills Road, and Route 1 and American Eagle Boulevard are reported to be flashing.


Press release: 

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Keep Prince William Beautiful dedicated Serenity Park, the culmination of a months-long beautification project at the Prince William Adult Day Healthcare Center in Woodbridge, on Wednesday, October 12, 2016. The park was dedicated to families dealing with Alzheimer’s and other degenerative neurological diseases, as cared for by Adult Day Healthcare.


Prince William County Schools (PWCS) intends to build a new elementary school adjacent to Chinn Park and the residential communities near Prince William Parkway and Trowbridge Drive. To date, the only information provided by PWCS is a one-page planning summary that does not fully explain what could happen when PWCS purchases only 14.9 acres of a 21.7-acre property, just enough land to squeeze in a new school and leave the rest available for additional private development. The community is concerned.

We have met with PWCS and they have provided only verbal assurances on some of the community’s concerns. Many questions remain about potential stormwater impacts, noise impacts, and traffic congestion issues. Of special alarm is the extremely small buffer shown between the proposed school and both the surrounding community and Chinn Park.


After seven years in business, and having to turn away hundreds of tourists due to space limitations, the Manassas Junction B&B is expanding.

Owners Mark and Ann Hempen plan to rehabilitate an existing outbuilding on the property into a 450-square-foot cottage suite for the Bed and Breakfast. The addition will provide a third “room” for guests; currently, two rooms are available for rent in the 2,700 square foot main house. As a long time residents of the City, the Hempen’s hope the addition will encourage additional tourists “to enjoy and be enriched by the history, culture, and friendliness of Manassas.”
