9 Reasons You Must Walk a Colonial Ghost Tour if You’re In Williamsburg, Virginia... Even if You Don’t Believe In Ghosts (Yet)!

1. you don’t believe in ghosts..

Did you know scientists at Princeton University may have proven the existence of ghosts? Researchers at Princeton University have been studying paranormal phenomena in a scientific context for almost 30 years, through a department called “PEAR”. It stands for “Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research”. PEAR is a scientific study of consciousness-related physical phenomena. What does this have to do with ghosts in Williamsburg, Virginia? Everything. Here’s an explanation, a quote from the PEAR website, “Nearly three decades of intense experimentation leave little doubt that the anomalous physical phenomena appearing in the PEAR studies are valid, and are significantly correlated with such subjective variables as intention, meaning, resonance, and uncertainty… The primary importance of operator intention and emotional resonance with the task at hand, along with the operator-specific structure evident in the data, the absence of traditional learning patterns, and the lack of explicit space and time dependence clearly predicate that no direct application or minor alteration of existing physical or psychological frameworks will suffice. ” You read that right. Accredited researchers from an Ivy League university have verified, using the scientific method, that human consciousness can affect the material world without any physical medium known to modern science. You see, the question of haunting has always been a question of human consciousness. More specifically, the question of haunting has always been about an issue central to human consciousness: meaning. When a soul is wronged, or tortured, or betrayed, or even hopeful, it seems it can leave a lasting mark on the world behind it. It so happens that Williamsburg, Virginia is home to a legion of haunting tales of just how dramatic these marks can be. Indian burial grounds, witches, stories of murder, tragedies of war, and bitter betrayal across more than 300 years of history. Join us to see, hear and feel these hauntings for yourself!

2. You don’t like guided tours.

Have you ever had a terrible tour guide? Someone who wasn’t very likable, wasn’t very knowledgeable, didn’t have a good command of the group, was boring, unengaging, and just left you feeling like you had wasted your money? Our tour guides are the polar opposite. They will make a believer out of you. Not just in ghosts, but in how awesome a properly guided tour can be. Our guides take their role seriously - they are guiding you through 300 years of history, in places that have been evidently haunted, almost weekly, since they were discovered. Colonial Ghosts guides define the standard for professional walking tours, and our company has consistently been rated the top ghost tour attraction in Williamsburg, Virginia for years because of our fantastic guides. That’s saying something because the competition is stiff here (this place is severely haunted)! In fact, our guides do such a good job that Colonial Ghosts remains competitive on lists for doing anything in Williamsburg, Virginia, including sailing, food tasting, wine tasting, beer tasting… even zip-lining! Colonial Ghosts only employs guides that pass a series of benchmarks, including story telling ability, friendliness, tact, historical knowledge, command presence, organization and time management, rapport building, and most importantly, responsibility! No matter how big your group, where you’re from, how old you are, or what language you speak, our guides will deliver a terrifyingly fun, spooky and memorable experience. You will look back on your tour fondly and reminisce for years about the experience! But hey, don’t take our word for it. Check out what our guests have said.

3. You want to learn (and remember!) the hidden secrets of Williamsburg, Virginia!

Have you ever heard of a “memory palace”? It’s a technique used by memory athletes to remember fantastic amounts of information with perfect recall, in a short period of time. What you do is, you associate different imagery and stories with different features of locations you’re familiar with (like different rooms in your house). As it turns out, you will automatically be building a memory palace, filled with the chilling tales of the ghosts of Williamsburg, as you walk the Colonial Ghost tours. See, the way the human brain is wired to remember is based on imagery and territory. It’s why we recognize landmarks when we’ve driven somewhere new, even if we forget the name of the roads we were on. It makes sense. Throughout human history, even before reading and writing, it was critical we knew how to navigate our homes or the places near our homes. Remembering the features of different terrain has been critical to our survival. What does this have to do with ghosts? The answer may surprise you. You see, it’s not just that ghosts haunt specific locations. But as you find yourself walking along the streets of Williamsburg with our guides, through graveyards, churches and old prisons, you may begin to picture the stories you’re hearing. As you walk past the maze in the gardens in front of the Governor's Palace, you may be able to picture the ghosts of the young couple who snuck onto the grounds one night after the palace was rebuilt, hoping for an adventurous and romantic stroll… only to meet the horrifying fate that awaited them. And as you picture what happened in your mind’s eye, you will find you can remember the dark secrets of Williamsburg any time you need them. To impress your friends (or a date). To amuse your family. Or maybe just to reminisce with the people who walked the grounds with you. There are over three centuries of dark secrets looming over the streets of Williamsburg, and we will reveal the most haunting to you, in vivid detail! Having explored these places yourself, you will be sure to remember these stories until it’s your turn to cross over!

4. You’ve only got a couple days in town, and you’re not sure what to do.

If you’ve only got a couple days in town, maybe you’re with your significant other, or maybe you’re with your friends, or even your whole family, and you’re spending your precious paid time off here in Williamsburg, so that every move you make counts... then you simply must come visit us. If you could only count on one thing to do in Williamsburg, Virginia that guaranteed you’d have a great time and memories that last forever, then a Colonial Ghosts walking tour is your safest bet. Here’s why: Our tours cover about one mile of walking. They’re approximately 90 minutes long, unless you decide to go for the extended tour. Then you can add about 30-45 minutes to that for a total of 110-125 minutes. Even so, they’re no more time consuming than your typical movie at the theater. Long enough to cover a lot of ground, but not too long. Colonial Ghost tours are also handicap accessible, and we will accommodate any special needs you or your party may have. Not everyone is in shape to do some of the more adventurous activities in Williamsburg. But our tours can be as much adventure as you can handle, without being physically demanding. Also, the value you get per ticket blows the competition out of the water. Just taking the family to see a movie, when you throw in the 10x marked up pop-corn, candy and drinks can be nearly a hundred dollars these days! We won’t price gouge you with snacks, but we will reveal the secrets of one of the most historic and haunted locations in the continental United States to you. Our guests regularly witness hauntings and capture chilling photos and video they can’t explain. If you feel the nerve, our guides will show you how you can experience these hauntings for yourself! But even if you finish your ghost tour unsure of how to make sense of what you have seen and heard, nearly everyone tells us they’ve enjoyed learning the history stories of what happened here in Williamsburg. When is the last time you got to walk-through your favorite stories and visit the places all the characters actually lived? To smell the old wood from the church pews and hear the creaking of the floors, or the echoes of the old stone? Come join us for a truly memorable experience you’ll love sharing with your friends and family.

5. You’re on a date.

Did you know the hormones our bodies release when we’re thrilled have an influence on attraction? It’s why roller-coasters make such a great first date. This has been studied over and over, but it’s worth repeating here. If you’re taking someone on a date, and you’re looking to have a lot of fun together, or to increase attraction for each other, it’s a good idea to find something that gets the blood pumping. The best activities are even a little scary, like a roller coaster. Or a haunted old church. Colonial Ghost tours fit the bill perfectly. You will learn a lot of new history together, you will be exercising and getting your blood pumping together as you stroll a gentle mile through historic Williamsburg, and we promise your imaginations will be stimulated enough to give you a little scare. It’s good for bonding. ;)

6. You want to do something you and your family will have so much fun with, and have even more fun remembering

What is it worth to take a trip with your family that actually brings everyone together, even if it’s just for an hour or two? Family vacations can be stressful, and sometimes it can be a real pain to get everyone to get into the spirit doing the same thing, without whining or eyes rolling. And how many memories do we really get to have fun reminiscing over as the years pass? Well, Colonial Ghosts has got you covered. Walking and listening to spellbinding stories is easy enough for anyone to do, and yet, the experience of walking through haunted America is enough to get everyone’s attention. We have heard more stories of families having good times together, and remembering this for years, than we have room to print here. In fact, we guarantee it. If you’re not thrilled with the experience, if you don’t feel like you got to do something really special walking through haunted historic Williamsburg with us, we will refund your money on the spot. We know you’re going to have a great time, and we can’t wait to see you.

7. You want a REAL ghost tour.

Colonial Ghost tours are the real deal. One of the first things you’ll notice, that makes us different than the other ghost tours in town, is we don’t walk the traditional paths. And we don’t use silly costumes or lanterns. Why? Because we only walk the paths of the stories we have fact-checked and verified. We explore real haunted sites across Williamsburg. This isn’t a Disney tour. Not that we have anything against Disney. We love Disney. But Colonial Ghosts, while family friendly, is here to explore the factual history of haunted ghost sites. This includes stories of betrayal, war and tragedy. If you’re looking for real hauntings, and the sites where truly gruesome events happen that inspired the hauntings, you’re at the right place with Colonial Ghosts. Have you ever had that funny feeling someone is watching you, like you can feel a pair of eyes on you? And then you turn to see you were right? Or have you ever surprised yourself, that you just ‘knew’ something, without being able to tell anyone why or how? Those hair raising experiences are just the tip of the iceberg… we will take you to places where it is possible to see, hear and feel the presence of the ghosts of Williamsburg. Lovers betrayed. Brothers slain in battle. Wounded soldiers exploited by madmen. Ceremonial Native American burial grounds. It’s all here. If you want to make contact with the other side, this is your chance.

8. You have a tight schedule.

Colonial Ghost tours are easy to fit into most schedules, because we run late in the evening. We have different start times in the evening to choose from, including with ghost tours starting at 8pm and 9pm, and the Ultimate tour at 10pm. Finally, at 90-125 minutes long, you can almost always find a tour that fits your schedule.

9. You believe modern science has debunked ghosts.

This is our favorite. Not long ago, a pop-science article was published that claimed the Large Hadron Collider at CERN had debunked ghosts. In reality, a scientist named Brian Cox mused that if there were a medium that could preserve a person (something like a ‘soul’), he believes he would have seen evidence of it in his particle physics work. There have been sensational and materialistic anecdotes like these since the beginning of time. Long before science was as developed as it is, people doubted ghost stories. The funny thing is, upon closer inspection of what Cox actually said, it’s obvious the Large Hadron Collider has not proven anything about ghosts. In reality, the problem of ghosts, and even human consciousness, is one of information. As the celebrated evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins wrote, “What lies at the heart of every living thing is not a fire, warm breath, nor a ‘spark of life’. It is information, words, instructions… Think of a billion discrete digital characters… If you want to understand life think about digital technology.” In modern science, information is categorized in two fundamental ways. Syntactic and semantic. Syntactic information is information we can quantify mathematically. Like how many letters are in this sentence. Syntactic measurements allow us to quantify communication, and to build systems of communication, like telephones and computers. Semantic information, on the other hand, is information with meaning. As of this writing, modern science has no way of quantifying semantic information. Meaning baffles our mathematics. Partly because meaning is fluid and changes with context. For example, if you find a piece of paper with the word “no” written on it, the communication is incomplete. You don’t know if that was the answer to a question or the beginning of a statement. But more importantly, meaning implies a person, or persons, communicating. And so with meaning we must enter the realm of human consciousness. The realm of souls and that which animates our biological machinery. Which is still a great semantic mystery. There are places in the world where souls have left such a strong impression on the environment, that their marks can be seen long after they’ve died. Come join us as we explore some of these most haunted places in America, and meet the ghosts of those who died there!

Learn the Haunted History of One of America’s Oldest Towns

In 350 years, Williamsburg has been a town of great mystery. The town saw men and women accused of being witches and devils; sacred grounds destroyed and ignored for centuries to come; years of suffering, death and violence from wars, slavery and murder and acts far too horrible to even mention.

Indian Burial Grounds:

Unruly spirits rumble beneath your every step in Colonial Williamsburg. Built on top of sacred Native American burial grounds, Williamsburg has experienced strange activity for hundreds of years. Only recently have these burial grounds been discovered and we still only know so much about them. Walk through the long-since unknown and desecrated sacred lands from centuries past and listen to the story of Williamsburg Witch Trials that occurred on the very grounds you walk.

Murder Stories:

Learn of some of Williamsburg’s most complex and intriguing horror stories. Were these murderers ever caught? What drove them to such insanity? Was it a crime of passion? Could it have been an act of evil? Perhaps it was a symptom of the haunted surroundings of the land.

War Tragedies:

Two wars of great change happened in Williamsburg that shaped it forever. The Revolutionary War, which earned America its right to become an independent nation was the first large scale battle to involve Williamsburg. The Civil War, which pitted brother against brother and father against son, laid waste to Williamsburg and left 4,000 dead across the very land our ghost tours take place. What untold stories came from these hard fought battles? There’s only one way to find out.

Hear Tales from Renowned Experts of Williamsburg Hauntings

Williamsburg Ghost Tour has conducted several interviews with former Colonial Williamsburg staff. Our researches have worked hard to craft the true stories you will hear on the ghost tour through the Colonial Williamsburg area and William and Mary, the second oldest college in the nation.

Our tales start in the Colonial era where we will tell you everything about the not so peaceful beginnings of Williamsburg. From intense conflict to false accusations, every story will leave you shocked with what happened in the very place you’re standing.

After the Colonial era, learn about the violent destructive turmoil that Williamsburg underwent during the Civil War where 4,000 men lost their lives during an intense battle with casualties on both sides. Do you know of the amputation pits filled to the brim with severed limbs or the mass graves strewn throughout Williamsburg?

But that isn’t all. Don’t think the strange tales of Williamsburg reside in only the past. We have several stories from the present that will leave you just as bewildered. The history of Williamsburg is a complex one filled with the unknown and the Williamsburg Ghost Tour is here to tell you every detail, even the ones that have been hidden away for centuries.

Preview The Most Haunted Locations In Williamsburg

Bruton parish church.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington attended services here and Martha Washington’s great-grandfather once served as Reverend. It’s also the place where god-fearing folks flocked to and whet once, a Preacher’s wife – the love of his life – grew deathly ill and passed away. What made her come back to the land of the living? What trespass by her husband commanded Mrs. Jones’ spirit to haunt the church ground?

Peyton Randolph House

The Peyton Randolph House is another old structure from the early 1700s. Today, it has a reputation for being one of the most haunted sites in Virginia. The home belonged to the late politician Peyton Rudolph, and several famous revolutionary-era figures visited the home regularly. 

Like the Bruton Parish Church, it also served as a hospital for wounded soldiers. Throughout the years, various tragedies occurred, which gave the site its haunted reputation.

Wythe House

The Wythe House was a residence known to house the elite members of Williamsburg. George Wythe was a law professor and a mentor of Thomas Jefferson. 

As General Washington’s headquarters during the Revolutionary War, the house played an essential part in the birthing of America. Strategists drew up many battle plans for the Battle of Yorktown right here at the site.

A few untimely deaths supposedly occurred at the home, potentially leaving some ghostly spirits behind. Visitors can tour the home and experience the creepy phenomena themselves.

Welcome to Colonial Ghosts

Virginia’s most haunted colonial town.

Before the turmoil that ensued with colonization, the region was a lively enclave of human habitation with Native American tribes scattered up and down the coast. Those who ruled in what would become Middle Plantation, and then Williamsburg, were known as the Powhatan Confederacy and its history is as ancient as time. Like time, it is filled with immeasurable tragedies and insurmountable bloodshed. 

Many of the first colonial settlers in America starved to death in Virginia’s cold winter, fought bloody battles during decades of feuds and war with the Native population, or died of disease and plague long before Middle Plantation became Williamsburg, the capital of the Virginia colony and the wealthy and corrupt ruling elite. The foundations of the land they struggled and survived to build into the beginning of America had to be first baptized in blood and infamy.  In those real, violent, and tragic events is the story of a sinister past overflowing with otherworldly phenomena that blend the dark, the haunted, and the historical into a black hole of ghostly encounters and hauntings that occur each night on Williamsburg’s forsaken colonial streets.

This land full of violence, scars, blood, and unmarked graves has been cursed by the black deeds of those who lived and died in its borders time and time again over the course of 400 long years.

Join Colonial Ghosts on a dark and ominous night-time ghost adventure and uncover the details of how the earth on which Historic Williamsburg now sits has been drowned in buckets of blood and mountains of corpses long before the Revolutionary War — and how its inhabitants have kept up with that terrible tradition ever since.

What Will I see?

Historic streets become harrowing shadows of williamsburg’s past.

Williamsburg is one of the world’s most haunted cities in America and underneath its cobblestone historic streets, restored colonial architecture, and lively patriotic façade, there is something truly frightening waiting to be revealed in the shadows of the 400-year-old town.

One of Virginia’s first capitals, historic Williamsburg is a town full of terrors and historical wrongs where the ruling elite locked people in the debilitating, squalid conditions of one of the country’s first mental institutions. One, an English aristocrat named “Mad Lucy” even claimed friendship with then-Governor and future President Thomas Jefferson, before losing her mind and eventually her soul, which still haunts the property and building where she went mad. 

This early colonial community also endlessly persecuted women as witches and even jailed and tormented one of the accused, Grace Sherwood, for almost two decades.  You can still hear her pleading her case in the shadows of the Old Courthouse, whispering “It wasn’t me…it wasn’t me…it wasn’t me.”

Buried Secrets Rise From the Ashes

Colonial Ghosts tour takes you just outside the gates of the foreboding Governor’s Palace which housed generations of Virginia governors, from Alexander Spotswood who was a pirate hunter and responsible for the capture and killing of Blackbeard himself, to Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, who walked the colonial streets on the eve of the Revolutionary War.  

The palace would be abandoned in 1780 and, during the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, would be used as a makeshift hospital before burning to the ground in December of that year. Its restoration more than 150 years later unearthed 158 skeletons, the remains of American soldiers who perished while being treated for their war wounds. The unrest is palpable, with the stench of lingering flames still being smelled by patrons and phantom lights being seen in the upstairs windows. 

Evil in The Flesh.. And The Mystic

Of course, the Governor’s Palace isn’t the only building in Williamsburg that’s been tarnished by tragedy and death. Encounter the city’s most haunted hot spot, the Peyton Randolph House, considered by USA Today to be one of the most haunted houses on the East Coast–and by others to be the site of a vortex of evil–and hear the disturbing cries of the dead that will live in your subconscious. 

Since its establishment in 1715, the Peyton Randolph House has been the site of over two dozen deaths and continues to be home to these unfortunate souls. Hear authentic, bone-chilling accounts of real victims and villains such as that of the evil Mrs. Randolph who allegedly tortured her slave, Eve, igniting an evil that was already buried deep beneath the foundations of the town when a Native American burial ground was first disrespected and disturbed. 

From these events the darkness spread, engulfing many in its path. Death showed no mercy, claiming a pair of quarreling men, two young children that died in the same manner, and a civil war veteran who perished under mysterious circumstances, just to name a few. The home’s macabre series of death manifests itself, terrorizing those unfortunate enough to experience it. Reports include a security guard being accosted by a disembodied roar followed by being anchored to the ground by an invisible force for over 10 excruciating minutes before help arrived. His tale is actually part of the training for incoming security guards of the Randolph House, and it’s just one of many you’ll hear on the Colonial Ghosts tour.

Why is Williamsburg So Haunted?

A horrific history of victims, villains, and violence.

What happened in the years before America’s birth is mostly lost in lore, what occurred just after its foundation is the stuff of real ghost stories. Discover the Bruton Parish Church, a not-so-safe space that has been the site of deceit, debauchery, and death. The church’s wicked turn began with a less-than-honorable preacher, Reverend Jones, who remarried immediately following the death of his wife, breaking his promise to Mrs. Jones. The spirit of Mrs. Jones is frequently seen roaming the grounds, sobbing in agony, unable to rest as a result of her husband’s callousness.

Her soul isn’t the only tormented entity that remains on church grounds. In 1862 the church was used as a hospital for both Union and Confederate soldiers. It’s said that several soldiers are buried on the grounds with about 100 confederate soldiers resting in a mass burial site. Resting may be a bit of a stretch as sightings of their apparitions are a common occurrence throughout the grounds. However, none are as terrifying as the sight of the disturbing red eyes of the hanged man. Not only will you hear this tale on the tour, but you may just catch a sighting yourself.

America’s First Ghost Town Hidden in A Living History Museum 

It didn’t help that the colonial ghost town was restored and rebuilt to its exact specifications 300 years later.  A living history museum, and a dominion of the dead in a literal ghost town.

Visit this colonial landmark, one that houses the unrelenting dead, and travel to some of the most haunted places in Virginia. Walk down streets that serve as a final burial ground to tens of thousands and visit peaceful neighborhoods where cries of pain, suffering, and the cacophony of cannon fire reigned during the Revolutionary War. 

Walk down colonial streets where raving madmen and deranged women howled at the moon and drove orderly insane in one of the US’ first mental asylums. You’ll discover gruesome tales, not fiction, in each corner of Colonial Williamsburg. A place where ghosts like Dr. Galt, the longtime head of the Eastern State Lunatic Asylum, continue to have brain hemorrhages that leave stained carpets for housekeepers to discover each morning. The bigger problem is that Dr. Galt died over 150 years ago from a laudanum overdose. 

This terrifying adventure into the hallowed alcoves of this patriotic colonial town starts with an educational tour-de-force meant to unearth some of the real tragedies, unbelievable heroics, and the most shocking hauntings that this former capital of the dominion of Virginia still hides.

What’s so special about the Williamsburg Ghost tour?

A once-in-a-lifetime experience — an adventure you’ll cherish ‘till the end.  .

Come with our guides, as we travel through wind-swept avenues, and stand under the brick colonial buildings once honored by the presence of John Smith, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and hundreds more. You will hear, see, and experience something unique, unforgettable, and maybe a bit spooky. Encounter the ghosts and specters, the figures that still call Colonial Williamsburg their home.

Each stop has its own take on what it means to be haunted. No two are the same. From romantic interludes and lovers that can never again cross paths, to the ravings of madmen and women stuck in their final resting place. Get ready to feel your skin crawl and for a bout of sleepless nights. 

See a different side of a Ghostly Historic Destination

Before the sun sets, you’ll walk down the centuries-old Duke of Gloucester Street from Merchant Square to the Old Magazine to the Capitol and see the hustle and bustle of reenactors and interpreters painting the picture of colonial life in Williamsburg.  If you don’t want the stories you hear and the encounters experience at home to be the same as every other visitor to Williamsburg, hop on a ghost tour of Williamsburg with Colonial Ghosts to learn the real history of Williamsburg and hear the raw, authentic accounts of terror and tragedy in one of the oldest colonial towns and capitals in America.

Listen wide-eyed as you hear the story of the real Blackbeard and his crew of pirates and how he and his crew met their bitter end in 1719, as  British naval forces under the command of Lieutenant Robert Maynard managed to defeat the terror of the high seas at a bloody battle near Ocracoke Island.

Blackbeard was executed, his body quartered and his head treated with concoctions, and piked on the mast of his old ship “Queen Anne’s Revenge” for the world to see. Some say patrons of the Raleigh Tavern on Duke of Gloucester street could pay to take a sip from a cup made from his skull, handed down from Governor Spotswood to his favorite tavern keeper.

6 Reasons to book your Colonial Ghosts tour right now!

1) virginia is for lovers — and stephen king enthusiasts.

“You travel to Virginia to do the things you love doing with the people you love doing” — that’s why the slogan stuck. And what better way to express your love than with a good old fashion screamfest? Colonial Williamsburg has enough ghostly tales to fill up a library. It’s jam-packed with true accounts of spooks, specters, wild wraiths, and poltergeists. Some magazines and researchers even call it the most haunted city in the world. 

2) You Already Wined and Dined in One of Its Many Famous (and Haunted) Colonial Taverns. 

You’ve done and settled that bucket list item — tasted authentic dishes once served to the likes of Jefferson and Washington. Taverns like King’s Arm and Raleigh, standards of their era, were where travelers gathered news, traded gossip, and unwind with games and music. 

You’ve done them all and now need something else. What better way to finish the night than by going on a stroll and unpacking all those calories? A nice moonlit stroll to sweat out the spirit and perhaps get to know a couple of new ones. 

3) View The Colonial Period for What it Was–Bloody, Tragic, and Full of Ghosts

It’s all roses and champagne in one of America’s best-known living historic towns. There’s a romance to it. To that old era. A Je ne sais quoi about living in olden times. A simpler period — one full of honor, debauchery, fun, and a sense that what you were fighting for, what you lived for, had a purpose. But, once you scratch the surface, you start to see how everything turns bitter. You’ll need a guide to give you the full skinny. To tell you of the real happenings of those long-forgotten days. Of the hardship, of the persecution, of the medieval mentality, of the Puritan scare, of rampant cholera and dysentery. Of the madmen and highwaymen prowling the streets. Of the massacres and scandals that were glossed over. 

4) You Want to Get a Behind-The-Scenes Look at William & Mary

Perhaps one of the most iconic locales in the area, and the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States – not to mention the ninth-oldest in the world – The College of William & Mary is a must-see for every visitor that comes to Colonial Williamsburg. But did you know that it is overflowing with hauntings? So much so that some of the houses, used as dorms, have been vacated numerous times in the middle of the night by their inhabitants. Learn which ones. 

5) Busch Gardens has nothing on Haunted Williamsburg — Keep your adrenaline pumping 

With over 50 attractions and covering more than 130 acres, Busch Garden Williamsburg has the honor of having two record-setting roller coasters. The Alpengeist is one of the fastest and tallest in the world and the Pantheon is the world’s fastest multi-launch coaster. If you take a spin on any of them, you’re bound to hear your heartbeat, feel your blood boil, and have a little voice inside your head questioning your decision-making skills. 

Well, once the park closes you simply can’t go cold turkey — you’ll need to keep the adrenaline rush up. What better way than with an open-world haunted house and ghost town?  Your heart will beat faster, your blood will boil hotter, and you won’t be able to hear the voice in your head because of all the screaming…

6) You Want to Slip Back in Time and Experience Real Haunted History

“There is no denying it, our past stinks and seeps into our present. Occasionally I get such a potent whiff of history that my mind spins and my stomach lurches.” — Jinat Rehana Begum.  

We love to slip back into the past. To get swept by what we didn’t experience. Colonial Williamsburg gifts us that opportunity. It’s a living museum that every visitor can adventure into. A place like no other, stuck in time, in the trappings of the old, but with one hell of a WiFi connection. On the daily tours, on the normal tours, you’ll learn about the tangible, the things that drove this city, its practical aspects. On our tour, you’ll learn about its true nature, its wild passions, its darkest secrets, and the things and aspects its past tries to shrug off.
