Kenmore Plantation is widely believed to be haunted by the ghost of Colonel Fielding Lewis, who is said to be seen in an upstairs bedroom wearing his Revolutionary-era attire, poring over financial papers in a state of financial worry. Witnesses also report hearing heavy footsteps, disembodied whispers, and the mysterious turning of doorknobs throughout the house. The plantation, built in the 1770s as the home of George Washington's sister, Betty Washington Lewis, is also rumored to have residual energies from its time as a Civil War hospital, leaving behind a lingering otherworldly presence. The primary spirit associated with Kenmore is Colonel Fielding Lewis, who was the husband of Betty Washington Lewis and the original owner of the plantation. His apparition is often described as appearing in an upstairs bedroom, dressed in Revolutionary-era clothing, and intently studying financial documents. His restless presence is attributed to his ongoing financial worries, as he lost money during the Revolutionary War and had loaned funds to the state for a gun factory that was not repaid. Visitors and staff have reported the sounds of heavy footsteps, as if someone is pacing, and cold drafts within the house. A recurring phenomenon at Kenmore is the sound of doorknobs turning on their own, an activity attributed to Colonel Lewis's lingering presence. In addition to footsteps, there are reports of disembodied whispers. The site also carries the energy from its time as a Civil War hospital, with its history of young men's deaths on the grounds contributing to the otherworldly presence felt there.
