Full description
Since the 1930s, Colonial Williamsburg has honored the city’s past by recreating the glory days of the 18th century. Horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone paths, historic brick buildings, and vintage clothing set a charming, patriotic scene — but there’s a dark energy lurking in the shadows of this tourist town… Join a seasoned US Ghost Adventures guide for a nighttime walking tour of the most chilling, haunted sites in Williamsburg. Did you know one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was poisoned by his grandnephew? Or that a sadistic Civil War surgeon did his dirty deeds at Market Square? Williamsburg may be home to American treasures like the Raleigh Tavern, but it’s also home to one of the most haunted, cursed homes ever built: The Peyton Randolph House. Stand in its blood-red glow as you hear first-hand accounts of its evil energy. Tales of true crime, betrayal, and bloody wars line the streets of this famous city. Are you brave enough to get to know the real Williamsburg? The spirits are waiting.

William was phenomenal. Funny, captivating, and knowledgeable—he kept our attention throughout, scared us at the right moments, and was able to entertain kids, teenagers, and adults simultaneously. Highly recommend if you want something authentic with a lot of substance and a lot of haunted and scary stops!

The tour was well researched and very interesting. He gave historical background on all the haunted places as well as the ghost sightings and such. The tour guide William clearly knew what he was talking about and the tour itself didn’t feel cheesy or forced like I’d feared from a ghost tour. Overall one of the best parts of my vacation and I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Williamsburg.

Patrick did an amazing job showing us around some of the haunted sites downtown! The temperature was around 17 with wind chill the night that we took the tour, but he powered through and was still cheery and enthusiastic. His stories were all so interesting and my group intends to do the tour again when the weather is warm!
