Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunts of Henrico County: Whichello, Meadow Farm and Pocahontas Parkway
Episode notes
About this episode
| Henrico County began as one of Virginia’s original shires and still surrounds much of the City of Richmond. Its long history has produced ghost stories tied to old houses, family traditions, roads and place-names that predate the modern suburban landscape.
The episode begins with Whichello, also known as the Tall House, and the local story of the Mad Carpenter of Cocatamoth, a name that appears in several historic spellings. It continues to the Pocahontas Parkway and Meadow Farm before turning to the Nightmare Ghost, Woodside and the mysterious Streaking Lights. Some segments center on surviving historic properties, while others preserve oral traditions whose locations or details have shifted over time. The episode distinguishes that folklore from documented county history and offers a locally focused companion to the wider Richmond Haunts Media catalog. |
