Mind-Boggling Tales from the Old Dominion ¿ Legendary was the life of the gentle giant Peter Francisco, the strongest man in the Revolution, but one mystery remains: Why was he kidnapped as a child in his native land before being abandoned by a ship along the Appomattox River? ¿ When George Wythe was eighty, the professor, patriot, and signer of the Declaration of Independence sat up in bed and announced, "I am murdered!" But was he? Or was his suspicion all wrong? ¿ Tragedy struck the Church Hill Tunnel in Richmond on October 2, 1925-and rumors spread that a vampire had been disturbed. But just who was this vampire? ¿ Was Anna Anderson Manahan of Virginia the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia, as she claimed, or was she a Polish-born waitress-and the best actress of the twentieth century? From the Witch of Pungo to the Parkway Killer, Mysteries and Legends of Virginia pulls back the curtain on some of the region's most fascinating and compelling stories.
