Colonial Ghosts Tour

“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.

You’ve done and settled that bucket list item — tasted authentic dishes once served to the likes of Jefferson and Washing ... ton. 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.

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.

Perhaps one of the most iconic locales in the area, and the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United State ... s – 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.

With over 50 attractions and covering more than 130 acres, Busch Garden Williamsburg has the honor of having two record-setti ... ng 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…

We love to slip back into the past. To get swept by what we didn’t experience. Colonial Williamsburg gifts us that opportun ... ity. 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.
