The tour guide was very good but she made an historical incorrect statement She said Sarah Goode was tried for witchcraft in Williamsburg but she was never here. She lived and was tried and died in Salem.

Good stories nothing to scary. In other cities where we have done ghost tours, we were given headsets which allowed you to hear easily but we noticed none of the tours provided them so must have been a Williamsburg restriction.
