The Chamberlin, formerly a hotel on Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA, is associated with several hauntings. Visitors report seeing a female ghost known as Esmeralda on the eighth floor, a ship captain's daughter, and a spectral figure in a top hat on the porch, possibly the ghost of author Edgar Allan Poe. The property is also the site of a fire that killed at least one person, and some ghost tours in the area include it as a haunted location, though it is now a retirement community. A female specter said to be a ship captain's daughter, who is often seen on the eighth floor waiting for her father's return. A ghost sometimes seen on the porch, believed by some to be Edgar Allan Poe.
