“Local historian and paranormal investigator Pamela Kinney speculates that this is because Virginia was home to the earliest settlements in North America. Which makes sense so long as we all agree that by “settlements” we really mean “settlements of Europeans.” Which is to say, the kinds of ghosts you look for, and the kinds of ghosts you see, depend on your frame of reference. For when I began to tally the supernatural records of the area at the heart of Richmond, a simple fact emerged: the ghosts of Shockoe Bottom are overwhelmingly white.”
