Martha Washington Inn

I'd like to suggest an addition to your haunted hotels list. in Abingdon, Virginia, is the Martha Washington Inn. it's a very old building that served as a school for nurses during the Civil War. it has at least two ghost stories, dating from the war, attached to it. first, an injured soldier bled to death at the top of a flight of stairs, and the resulting bloodstain is still there. no matter what is done to the floor, no matter how many times the staff cleans it, the bloodstain comes back. the second story is about a young nurse, named Beth, who fell in love with an injured Union soldier who was brought to the school. the young man eventually died there, with Beth at his side. supposedly, Beth now haunts the hotel. the entire story is detailed in the book The Mystery of Ghostly Vera, a collection of stories from Southwest Virginia, by Charles Edwin Price. he tells it much better than i can. :) i think there's also a story about a headless horseman on the grounds, as well, but i'm not sure of the details on that one.
