Overview

Dive into the spine-chilling history of Virginia Beach with our ghostly walking tour, designed to thrill and educate!

Guided by a local haunt expert, this mile-long journey takes you through haunted landmarks like the majestic King Neptune Statue and the eerie Conch Shell Art Installation. As twilight descends, hear chilling tales of murderous sirens, relentless pirates, and restless witches, each story echoing through these haunted grounds.

Feel the thrill as you stand near the boardwalk where Blackbeard’s ship, Queen Anne’s Revenge, once prowled, or gaze at the haunting Norwegian Lady Statue. The after-hours setting adds a chilling atmosphere, intensifying the ghostly legends that linger in the air.

Though we can’t enter private buildings, the atmosphere is thick with history and mystery.

Join us for an after-hours adventure and discover why Virginia Beach is a top haunted destination on the East Coast!
