Norfolk is a city in the U.S. state of Virginia. On the science fiction television series The X-Files, the Van De Kamp family was located in Norfolk. Their adoptive son, Jackson Van De Kamp, was actually the son of Dana Scully, whose given name was William. William had the ability to manipulate people's perceptions, and used this to play a prank on two girls named Briann Stapleton and Sarah Turner. This drew the attention of the Department of Defense, as well as F.B.I. agents Scully and Fox Mulder. They came to Norfolk to investigate the prank aboard a ferry and spoke with the local police detective, Costa. Two D.O.D. agents raided the Van De Kamp home and presumably murdered his parents. Jackson faked his own death, and later had to use his powers to escape from the county hospital.
