This guided walking tour by Colonial Ghosts will take you to the most haunted locations throughout historic Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary (available only on the extended tour), where you’ll learn about the history of each stop, the things that happened there, and the hauntings that persist to this day as a result. You’ll also hear stories about the hauntings, and may even experience some while on the tour! What makes Colonial Ghosts different? The range of hauntings and stories range from pre-colonial to modern-day, and include events that occurred in the city during the Civil War and Battle of Williamsburg. The historical accuracy and documented hauntings that have been captured on video and are available to view on their youtube channel, and ghost stories documented with interviews from eyewitnesses make Colonial Ghosts the most authentic and frightening tour around.
