Did you know Richmond has been the site of raids, revolution, and rebellion since the 1600s? A city with such a long and tumultuous history is bound to be full of ghosts.
A past full of violent and tragic events has defined Richmond as much as its noble and patriotic legacy as one of the country's most significant historical cities. From wars with Native American tribes to Revolutionary War battles to a Civil War siege and its aftermath, calamity has left Richmond covered with enough haunted locations to entice many a ghost hunter.

You will hear horror-filled stories as our knowledgeable tour guides take you for a hair-raising tour of the creepiest areas of one of the most historic cities in the country.

Our professional storytellers will share spine-tingling tales of Richmond's hauntings, history, and legends that may explain why the city's streets seem to hum with unexplained activity after dark.
