THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Historic Kenmore is associated with the apparition of Fielding Lewis, husband of Betty Washington Lewis and brother-in-law of George Washington. Visitors have reported seeing his figure and hearing unexplained footsteps throughout the mansion.
This 1752 mansion is haunted by the husband of George Washington’s sister, Betty. Colonel Fielding Lewis, who died in the 1780s, spent many an hour in the upstairs bedroom worrying about money. His ghost can be seen in Revolutionary-era attire poring over his documents. His footsteps have been heard as well, and dorrknobs mysteriously turn by themselves.
