LOCATION
Why is Bremo Historic District said to be haunted?
Bremo is not one house but three, built between 1815 and 1820 on the James River by planter and reformer John Hartwell Cocke. The smallest of them, Bremo Recess, was built as a private retreat for Cocke and his wife Anne Blaws Barraud Cocke soon after their marriage β but Anne died there in 1816, only four years after the house was finished. Local tradition holds that she never left it: generations of residents and visitors have reported her presence lingering in the rooms of Bremo Recess, a quiet figure said to walk the halls of the house built for her. Unlike the plantation's well-documented architectural history β Cocke worked with Thomas Jefferson's own master joiner, John Neilson, on the main house β Anne's haunting survives only as oral folklore, repeated by neighbors and later by ghost-story chroniclers of central Virginia, with no contemporary written account to confirm it.
