A ghost named max stays in this house to protect it from his evil sister, who altered his will so she could inherit the building. The German’s guttural voice, groaning sounds, and shuffling footsteps have been reported by tenants for many years. Max explained his motivation at a seance arranged by the current owners.

Directions: Harrison is in north-west Virginia, at the junction of I-81 and U.S. Highway 33. The house is a private residence, at 537 Layman Ave., Harrisburg, VA 22801
