The Inn at Edgewater Acres

History & local legend

Debra Saussure, owner of the Inn at Edgewater Acres near Alexandria, sometimes opened the dining room in the morning and found silverware rearranged on the tables. City Lights Paranormal Society came to investigate on March 27, 2010. During the initial walk-through, Saussure and an investigator named Joe said they saw a figure dart into an upstairs bedroom.

Later, Joe and fellow investigator Ed spent about half an hour in the stables. They reported hearing a woman’s voice twice, a man’s voice and knocks that seemed to answer them. A sudden blast of air followed, giving them the impression that something had charged toward them.

When the team reviewed its recordings, members interpreted the male voice heard just before the rush of air as a command: “Halt!”
