An historic adventure in King George, Virginia! TAPS is invited to investigate Belle Grove Plantation, the birthplace of James Madison, one of the writers of the American Constitution and the fourth president of the United States. The current clients have just re-opened the historic home as a bed and breakfast, but the paranormal activity is frightening the guests!

Owner Michelle Darnell has seen multiple solid entities, and she is uneasy. There are large, looming shadows in the basement, and a woman on the balcony in a long white dress, a civil war soldier and a galloping horse. WHAT??

The property is also connected to another president. John Wilkes Boothe, assassinated President Lincoln and ran across the Belle Grove property. The armed contingent in pursuit of him spent the night at the plantation before capturing and killing the fugitive. Could this historic turn of events be the source of the hauntings?

Did they mention the on-property cemeteries? One is possibly the burial site of the Conways, the maternal line of President James Madison. Maybe those spirits are the source of the disembodied voices, dark orbs and items moving on their own.

A game of chess between Tango and Sam is interrupted by a whistling and singing sound. Tango suspects it could be the radiators, but it could also be James Madison.
24205
No, it's not their usual horseplay! Tango decided to go into the crawlspace under the foundation of the basement. Getting in was no problem, but getting out required teamwork!

Steve and Jason share the audio and video footage with the client. There is strong evidence that there is a paranormal entity in the basement, but Jason reassures Michelle that there is no maliciousness to fear. What a relief!

On to Historic Jordan Springs in Winchester, Virginia. The building has a long and storied history: it was once a spa, a hotel, a hospital for both sides of the Civil War, and even a monestary for monks. As Jason says, "this place just LOOKS haunted."

Client John Rossi tells the team that people have seen full bodied apparitions in early 19th century clothing on the premises, orbs of light, shadow figures and doors opening and closing dramatically. Could it be the monks or the deceased Civil War soldiers? It's the recent construction that has caused the activity to turn malicious: people have been pushed and injured by these forces!

Open and shut case? Britt and Adam may have debunked the claim of a ghost in the window with some light play, and the doors that open and shut on their own may actually have help from a draft. But there's no debunking the scratching, shuffling and growling noises they hear!

The client is amazed by the footage Jason captured of a shadow figure. Add that to audio recordings of voices and the claims all gain credibility. At least now the owners have proof to back up his stories. There's something haunting Jordan Springs.
