About this listen

Donnamarie Emmert speaks about growing up in Washington County, her schooling, moving away, and of course she shares stories!

The Haint Mistress has been sharing the stories of the “haints” in Abingdon for over 25 years and has a masters degree in storytelling, an outrageous love for of all things Halloween-y and that go bump in the night, and a ferocious attraction to history. You’ll remember her stories for years to come.

This oral history was presented in front of a live audience in the Taproom of Tumbling Creek Cider Company on August 10, 2025. The audio was captured by Leigh Anne Hunter at WEHC 90.7 FM. The Historical Society of Washington County, VA archives the video.
