Description

from The Dead of Night Ghost Tour
Hear factual stories of real ghosts who inhabit the town of Williamsburg. Follow your costumed, ghostly guide down eerie streets, by candlelight. A first-person tour, your guide becomes a ghost from the 18th Century, who lived and died in this very haunted town. You will experience the Peyton Randolph House, the most haunted in Virginia. Guests often see and hear strange, inexplicable sights and sounds, so you will not want to attend without a camera in hand. A truly one-of-a-kind, unique tour you will not want to miss!

This original tour is what our business has been built on. Our success is because of this unique and fun tour. Presented by the ghost of an 18th century character from town, you will be taken down the hauntingly scary streets, by candlelight.

Suitable for all age groups, children love the character in costume as older guests fully understand the fully researched ghost stories that are told. This tour is not a history tour. Children ages 6 and under are free.

"Spooky"
September 2019
A lot of walking, two people doing the tour, the gentleman spent his time talking about his tats. The woman spoke as a escaped patient of the time that was very neat. The group on the tour was very large. Some very interesting historical information. It was a nice tour but, have definitely been on better.

"Super Fun"
June 2019
Took this night tour on June 17, 2019. There are many ghost tours, but I chose this one because the stories are based on actual experiences. Our guide Will was superb. He was dressed in colonial costume and spoke in a British accent as he pretended to be the spirit of Samuel Henning, former local resident. He was knowledgeable, and friendly. We learned a lot about the local history. You can take pictures when the guide directs. May need to use your cellphone flaslight to avoid the occasional horse droppings from the day's carriage rides. All in all, a great tour.

"Enjoyable Tour"
December 2018
This tour was so fun! If you’re one who loves ghost stories and the supernatural, this is for you. The meet up spot is in a cute little shopping center with plenty to do beforehand. Shop and eat before the tour. Our tour guide was excellent. Had a nice voice as well that I could listen to all day.
