What You'll See

A colonial building lit up at night

Public Hospital

Williamsburg’s first hospital for the mentally ill was designed to be a beacon of hope for the underprivileged. Instead, like most hospitals in that era, it became a house of horrors. Discover its dirty secrets and the spirits forever trapped in this eternal prison.

Jones Cemetery + Secretary’s Office

Tourgoers are treated to a two-for-one at this location. Located next to one of the oldest cemeteries in Williamsburg, the Secretary's Office is not only cursed by tragic events but infested by the spirits of the unclaimed dead buried in the cemetery.

The Public Goal in Williamsburg

Public Gaol

Initially designed for temporary use, this former prison became a permanent home to the inmates who died violent deaths within its walls. Standing outside of this forsaken building evokes a heavy sense of dread, and it only gets more terrifying when you hear the horrifying tales from its early days.
