Take a step into Williamsburg’s haunted past on the Gallows Path Ghost Tour, the adults-only ghost tour from Ghost City Tours. Offered nightly at 10 PM, this tour is designed for those who crave something darker—something a little more intense. It’s the perfect experience for couples, groups of friends, and anyone 16 or older looking to explore the chilling stories Williamsburg doesn’t share on the daytime tours.
Told through the voice of the colonial executioner, this ghost tour guides you through the historic streets of Williamsburg, where justice was once swift—and often deadly. Each haunted location you visit is connected to someone who met their end at the hangman’s hand. Now, their spirits are said to remain, bound by rage, regret, or revenge. These are not tales for the faint of heart. They are true stories, thoroughly researched and told as if the Executioner himself is recounting the hauntings he’s come to know all too well.
As the shadows grow longer and the town settles into the silence of night, the Gallows Path comes to life with whispers of the condemned. You’ll explore Williamsburg’s darker history, encountering tales of crime, punishment, and lingering souls. If you’re looking for something beyond a basic ghost tour—something with edge, mood, and storytelling that brings the past alive—this is it.
