Is Stonewall Jackson House haunted?
The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed anecdotal. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
The house is the only-owned — the 'professor' that's the buyer's job, the 'VMI' that's the employer's name. The 'gardened' is the quiet — the 'kitchen garden' that's the general's hobby, the 'lemons' that's the habit's odd. The 'church taught' is the led — the 'Sunday school' that's the enslaved class's pupils, the 'controversial' that's the lesson's edge.
The 'widow sold' is the passed — the 'Anna' that's the survivor's name, the 'hospital' that's the house's second life. The 'restored twice' is the peeled — the '1979' that's the facade's return, the 'original shift' that's the rebuild's care. The house is the kept — the 'museum' that's the '54's role, the 'possessions' that's the rooms' fill.
The file keeps the house: the only home, the gardened life, the taught class, and the restored facade.
Stonewall Jackson House is the archive's Virginia file — the professor's home before the general's legend.
Why this file matters
Stonewall Jackson House is the archive's Virginia file — the civilian decade inside the soldier's story.
A house keeps its garden — the file's suggestion being that the home's hold is the quiet: the 'professor' that's the owner's job, the 'enslaved school' that's the complicated edge, and the 'restored' that's the museum's work.
The record of claims
Reported a presence in the study. The house's rooms are where the accounts concentrate — old houses keep their stories in the walls they were built around. The reports are anecdotal — consistent enough to record, thin enough to stay unproven. The figure remains the site's most-repeated sighting. The claim holds its place in the ledger.

Jackson lived here 1858-1861 as a VMI professor. Stonewall Jackson House's documented history is the record the rest of the file stands on.
