What To Expect

Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

Experience the many ghosts of this old colonial town that are still seen today. Learn of the hangings of Blackbeard's crew and what happened to Blackbeard's skull. Did our forefathers really drink from his skull? Stand right where Grace Sherwood, the most famous witch, is often seen during mock trials in the Capitol and hear of her fate, finally pardoned by Gov. Tim Kean after centuries of being called the Witch of Pungo. Learn of Anne Bonny and Mary Reed (a woman posing as Mark Reed) who were aboard Calico Jack's ship and fought like men. Top it all off by going to the Jones Graveyard, where Ida Jones still haunts the graves today, in the late-night hours.

Lexie did a fantastic job leading the tour. Her expertise really showed and it provided my husband and I with a stellar yet spooky experience on the Ghosts, Witches and Pirates tour! We would definitely recommend to others and do it again.

We felt the tour was nicely done by our tour guide Lexi. She was very informative and interesting However…. There was man dressed as a pirate and he told pirate stories that were not really about Williamsburg. He talked 20 mins about Blackbeard in NC. He also sounded drunk the whole time. Lexi would have been great by herself!

Mr.Pirate is Samuel Odell he plays the part of a drunken Pirate. The reason why we talk about Blackbeard is the pirates on Blackbeard’s crew we’re tried here and hung and Samuel Odell ( Mr.Pirate )got off from being hung because he thought it was a party ship that he revealed at the end of the tour . Lexi is a great tour guide and I’m glad you liked the tour . Usually everyone loves Mr.Pirate also . Sincerely, Grace Sherwood and Mr Pirate 🏴‍☠️
