REVOLUTION • CIVIL WAR • FIRE & TRAGEDY • VIRGINIA'S MOST HAUNTED CAPITAL
Richmond sits on the falls of the James River in central Virginia, a city that has stood at the center of American history since before the Revolution. It was here that Patrick Henry demanded liberty or death, here that the Confederacy made its capital, and here that fire and war left scars the city still carries.
Few American cities have witnessed as much upheaval in as little ground. Revolution, civil war, devastating fires, epidemics, and countless private tragedies have all played out on these streets, and the history books only tell part of the story.
Ghost City Tours invites you to explore what lingers after the history ends. Through carefully researched storytelling and visits to some of Richmond's most haunted locations, you'll meet the people, the legends, and the paranormal encounters that have made Richmond one of the most haunted cities in America.

Richmond is one of the most haunted cities in America
Few cities have seen as much history, or as much tragedy, as Richmond. Revolution, civil war, fire, and epidemic have all left their mark on these streets, and the spirits of that past are never far away.
The Confederate capital, the graves of Hollywood Cemetery, the ashes of the 1811 Theatre Fire, the lingering presence of Edgar Allan Poe - Richmond's history runs dark, and our guides know exactly where to find it.
Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy through the Civil War, and the death and upheaval of those years still echo through the city.
One of the deadliest fires in early American history killed dozens of Richmonders in a single night. Monumental Church was built over their remains.
Resting place of two U.S. presidents and thousands of Confederate dead, and home to the enduring legend of the Richmond Vampire.
At St. John's Church, Patrick Henry demanded 'liberty or death.' Some of the church's oldest residents are said to have never left its graveyard.
Poe grew up in Richmond and considered it home. The city that shaped America's master of the macabre is fittingly full of ghosts.
From the Theatre Fire of 1811 to the Evacuation Fire of 1865, Richmond has burned more than once, and the dead of those disasters linger still.
