Goodwill's Holiday Thrift Pop-Up is a one-day event at the JANAF Goodwill in Norfolk on Saturday, November 7 (5900 E Virginia Beach Blvd):

Shoppers can expect a large selection of holiday décor, toys, gifts, Christmas trees and festive home goods at thrift-friendly prices, with merchandise replenished throughout the day. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there from 10 a.m. to noon, and Santa returns from 1 to 3 p.m.

Every Goodwill store carries its own inventory, so no two trips are the same, and there was plenty of Halloween to pick from this year. Every purchase supports job training, career services and employment opportunities across Central and Coastal Virginia.

In this episode of Vera House Unscripted, we discuss a range of Richmond topics including the Dahlgren affair, the 1811 Richmond Theatre fire, and the Grey Lady of the Hawes House.

We start with this year's costumes, built from a Goodwill thrift challenge, before Myke tells the story of Ulric Dahlgren, the 21-year-old Union colonel Richmond was so afraid of that it dug him up four times.

Later in the episode, Perri shares his own unexplained campground encounter and the story of the Grey Lady, a haunting that ended with a skeleton and a tortoiseshell comb unearthed four feet under the Hawes House.

The second half closes with the Bleeding Nun, the night in 1811 when a theatre fire killed 72 Richmonders, including the governor, and the city built Monumental Church on top of the mass grave.

Topics include the Kilpatrick-Dahlgren raid, Elizabeth Van Lew, Libby Prison, Belle Isle, Monumental Church, Gilbert Hunt, the Hawes House, and a lot more.
