🧛 The Richmond Vampire is still entombed at Hollywood Cemetery.

👻 A "friendly" ghost walks the Governor's Mansion.

😱 And a disembodied bride walks the grounds of Tuckahoe Plantation.

Why it matters: The Axios Visuals team thought it would be a fun Halloween treat for readers to dig into this dataset of supposedly haunted places collected and organized from reader submissions to the 25-year-old paranormal website The Shadowlands.
