During the height of the French and Indian War a fort was built in the frontier town of Winchester, Virginia
To protect the local citizenry from attack.
Named Fort Loudoun after the Governor General of Virginia and commander-in-chief John Campbel,l the fourth Earl of Loudoun,
construction began in 1756. The fort was designed by the commander of the Virginia regiment, Colonel George Washington
who supervised its construction. During the excavation of the fort's foundation, Washington's men dug up large skeletons.
According to Washington there were seven feet long.
Today, the property is owned by the French and Indian War foundation and is listed
in the National of Historic Places. If you guessed that the seven-foot
skeletons are not housed in the museum on the property, then you're correct.
So what happened to them? My guess is that they were lost,
possibly never even stored a war was going on.
Washington and his men were not out to prove to the world that an ancient race of Giants walked the Shenandoah Valley in the past.
For what it's worth, there have been a number of reports of apparitions of giant Indians walking around Old Town Winchester.
This is especially true on the intersection of Indian Alley and Piccadilly Street.
Whether the large ghosts are related to the skeletons found at Fort Loudoun is unclear.
In the immediate area stands the Piccadilly Mansion, well-known for paranormal activity.
But that's a topic for another day.
