Your tour guide will tell ghost stories, while walking you through town, in the dark night, by candlelight. You will hear of ghostly encounters which have been thoroughly researched and documented. Stories have been reported by security officers, employees, and residents of the town. We never embellish our stories. What you hear are true experiences and sightings of ghosts.

Since we conduct our tours in Williamsburg's historic area, no ghost tours are allowed to enter these 18th-century buildings. However, you may walk up to the buildings once the tour is over. Tickets to Colonial Williamsburg may be purchased for entrance to many of the buildings, during the day, but are not needed to attend one of our ghost or witch tours.

Yes. We need to know how many guests to expect so that we have the correct number of tour guides available to accommodate you.

All tickets are non-refundable.

Bring an umbrella! Tours are conducted rain or shine. If the conditions become hazardous or severe, we reserve the right to cancel the tour. We recommend dressing appropriately for all weather conditions. We will contact you if the tour is canceled, so be certain to give us your cell phone number when you reserve. Please do not call us regarding the weather. We will call you if need be.

If we cancel your tour for any reason, you will receive a full refund or, if you prefer, you may reschedule.

Tickets purchased on our website or called in do not need to be brought to the tour. We will have all of your information. However, if you have any vouchers from elsewhere, even if you have called in, you MUST bring them with you. You may print them out or show them on your cell phone.

Restrooms are available, though generally not along our tour route. They are easily accessible a short distance away, however, so you may walk to one if need be.

All tour guides dress in historic period costumes and carry lanterns.

All of our walking tours are taken at an easy pace. However, if you get behind, we will wait at each location before beginning to talk, again.

Our tours are family-friendly! Children love the costumed character tour guide and the adults enjoy the fact that we tell true, fully researched, and experienced ghostly encounters. This tour is unique in that it is engaging for all ages. Tours last just about 1 hour and 45 minutes. All children 6 and under attend free of charge. Please keep in mind that we do speak of deaths and murders. The details are not gory but can be a little spooky at times. We try to keep our tours at a level that will entertain all age groups, however.

If you are late, you will miss the tour. Tours leave right on time, and to be fair to the whole group, we cannot wait for late arrivals, nor will we call to see where you are. If you are not familiar with the meeting location area, please make sure to leave plenty of time to find it. Full directions are on this website. Refunds will not be provided.

We have seen lots of ghosts on our tours, but we cannot guarantee it. Please feel free to ask your tour guide about haunted experiences in town.

This is a storytelling tour, not a haunted house. Nothing is staged and no employees will jump out and try to scare you. If anything happens on your tour, it is truly paranormal in nature.

We love dogs and welcome them on all our outdoor tours. Please see that your dog is friendly, and on a leash, and please be sure to bring the appropriate supplies to clean up any messes.

All tours are wheelchair/stroller accessible. 

Currently, our tours are in English only.

We recommend bringing a camera for all tours. Not only can you get great pictures of haunted historic buildings, but you might also just capture a ghost or two! Our tour guides suggest where such sightings may occur so you will be sure not to miss a single chance of catching a ghost, in your photos, to take home with you!

We cannot guarantee that. Be wary of any company that promises ghostly photos, sightings, or experiences. It is not possible to make that promise. Nothing appears on command because we do not base our tours on anything that is false. If you see a ghost, it is truly a ghost. Many have been seen in guests' Photos.

Our tours are copyrighted. There is absolutely no videotaping allowed!

Group rates are available for groups of 10 or more. Please call 757-604-9985 for more information.

We have several tour guides to accommodate groups of all sizes. However, because we are a very popular and unique tour, we cannot guarantee small groups, especially in our very busy seasons. We do not begin talking, at any location, without being certain to give each guest time to get to a spot where they can see and hear. We always welcome our guests in larger groups to raise their hand if, at any time during the tour, they cannot hear. That has never happened, however, as our guides are trained to speak clearly and loudly enough for any size group.

Many things make us different from other area tours. All tour guides dress in 18th-century costumes. All stories are authentic, collected from interviews with those who have experienced ghosts in town, those who work or live in the buildings, and from books of fully researched ghost experiences. We have great reviews on Trip Advisor and have been operating #1 rated ghost tours for over 6 years. Our guides are experienced professionals, giving top-quality tours every time. No ghost guide at Spooks and Legends hurriedly memorizes facts just to give our tours. Ours are well-seasoned guides who know the area and have had many ghostly experiences themselves. We do not hire anyone who has not been a professional actor, public speaker, or teacher. We have been featured on the ENCRYPTED RADIO SHOW on BBS with Loret Love and David Redding, in California and mentioned in the Williamsburg Nextdoor Neighbor magazine.

We have many locals who return over and over. They bring visiting guests and neighbors. Local groups often attend to celebrate a birthday, bachelorette party, raise money on one of our fundraiser tours, or any other number of reasons. It is great entertainment and a lot of fun.

Absolutely, as long as it is non-alcoholic. While no food or drinks are included in the ticket price, feel free to pack light snacks and drinks. REMEMBER: NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE ALLOWED; We reserve the right to ask anyone who is intoxicated, to leave the tour. Security will be called if need be.

Absolutely not. These are non-smoking tours, which include cigarettes, cigars, and vapor pipes.

Gratuities are welcomed and are not included in the ticket price. While not required, tips are accepted and always appreciated by our tour guides.
