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.

This was a really fun and informative tour! The guides dressed up and told stories about the area and the homes we visited, in a way that allowed you to visualize what occurred back then. I highly recommend doing this tour during your visit to Williamsburg! It was definitely a favorite for our family of three. Everyone was so friendly! Very fun and interesting to learn about the pirates, witches and ghosts of the area!!

If you're expecting a deep dive into history or the supernatural this is not it, however it is incredibly fun for younger audiences on history and folklore. The tour guides were very fun, informed, and kind and shared great storys that anyone, even amateur lore hunters, can enjoy.
