Aquia Episcopal Church is a beautiful place of worship in Stafford, Virginia. Not unlike many of the state’s historic spots, it has 200 years of history that many consider haunted. The early years of the church were marked with tragedy. In the mid-eighteenth century, a woman was hiding from a gang of highway men within the church’s walls and was killed. Even more upsetting was the fact that her body was not discovered until years later, when the church reopened after the Revolutionary War. No one knows exactly the details of the murder, yet there have been several claims of paranormal activity since. As you can tell from the pictures below, this gorgeous church might seem like an unsuspecting place for such hauntings.
