Late at night, when the shopkeepers lock their doors and the streets are empty and quiet, the ghosts of Colonial Williamsburg come out to play… Are you brave enough to meet them?

Join a seasoned US Ghost Adventures guide for a late-night walking tour of the most chilling, haunted sites in Williamsburg. Stand in the shadow of the terrifying Public Gaol, where an entity named “Mr. Scratch” likes to communicate with anyone who will listen. Learn about the torturous conditions at the Eastern Lunatic Asylum, and visit the home where one of the patients — “Mad Lucy” — remains to this day.

You’ll end your tour at one of the most haunted, cursed homes ever built: The Peyton Randolph House. Stand in its blood-red glow as you hear tales of a vicious slave owner, a Native American burial ground, and violent spirits.

Williamsburg may offer amusing, colonial-themed attractions by day, but the real stories are revealed at night. Step into the darkness. Book a tour today.

Tours meet at 428 W Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, at the sitting Statue of Thomas Jefferson on the bench, between the Precious Gem Jewellery Store and the Kimball Theatre in Merchant's Square. We are not associated with the Kimball Theatre or adjacent stores. Your guide will be wearing a black US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carrying a lantern.
