The Witch of Mountain Run

Witch of Mountain Run

Another story rooted in Culpeper’s folklore is the tale of the “Witch of Mountain Run.” It’s said that in the late 18th century, a woman living in the mountains near Culpeper was accused of practicing witchcraft after a series of mysterious events in the area. Animals were found dead, crops failed, and strange lights were reported in the sky. The woman was eventually run out of town, but her spirit allegedly haunts the mountain to this day. Locals still whisper about strange occurrences when traveling through the area at night, including unexplainable noises and strange sightings.
