What To Expect

Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum

Our tour will guide you through some of the most terrifying events in the history of Virginia Beach. As we stop at a variety of historic sites, listen carefully to the stories of the city’s history of horror and keep your eyes peeled for any strange sightings, for who knows what supernatural forces might be lurking along the oceanfront tonight!

Norwegian Lady Statue

This statue lies at the center of a tragic story. It was built to commemorate the souls that were lost in the shipwreck of the vessel Dictator in 1891. Join the tour to learn the horrifying story and why this is one of the haunted hotspots on Virginia Beach.

Virginia Beach

The shipwreck of the Dictator, a Norwegian barque, claimed nine lives, and while the USLSS helped to save eight sailors that day, the nine who were lost included four Norwegian seamen working far from home. Is it their spirits that still haunt this location?

Naval Aviation Monument

This monument was built in tribute to three eras of naval aviation: The first at the turn of the twentieth century, the second during World War II, and the third during our time. It has it's haunting story you'll only hear on our exclusive ghost tour.

King Neptune Statue on the Boardwalk

Marvel at the King Neptune's statue Virginia Beach's Boardwalk. This imposing structure might seem to be merely a personification of the ocean itself constructed to entertain beach-goers. But there is a far more sinister history behind its presence here.

Virginia Beach Boardwalk

We have all heard of the fearsome pirate Blackbeard and his murderous crew. But did you know Hampton Roads played a central role in the story? Only on our Virginia Beach Ghost Tour will find out why the boardwalk is so haunted!

The tour guide did a good job making well of a bad situation. That evening rain was in the forecast, so we reached out to the company about rescheduling and got an auto response just prior to the tour saying no. We went on the tour and all of it was spent in the rain. More then half was spent in torrential down pouring rain. Not a good experience! It was difficult to hear the guide & spent more time being disappointed and trying to stay dry then actually enjoying it.

Justin was so knowledgeable and fun! We loved doing the ghost tour on the boardwalk — there are so many fun stories and he loves to answer any questions you have. We did ours on the craziest of weather nights (high winds and sprinkling rain), and still had the best time. He’ll go rain or shine so pack your umbrella or rain jacket if the weather isn’t great, it’ll still be fun!

Justin was a great tour guide and answered any questions we had. Really took his time and explained everything. So many great stories and after, my daughters and I went to look at the witch duck statue because if his tale. Very engaging, informative and great storyteller. Would highly recommend for something different to do or someone into not just paranormal but history.
