Overview

Charlottesville has experienced its fair share of turmoil and tragedy, alongside its charming streets and delectable cuisine. From the legend of the enigmatic Moon Ghost who terrorized a local family to the brooding figure of James Madison reported at his beloved Montpelier, the Charlottesville area has been haunted by the shadow of death and destruction for centuries. A bone-chilling stroll at night exposes the enduring existence of the city’s distressing past.

This spine-tingling ghost tour will take you to some of the most haunted spots in the city. From the former home of a murdering husband to chilling experiences at a local park, you will delve into the shadows of Charlottesville's murky history.

This is a walking tour. We do not ever the private homes or businesses. The duration of the tour is outside and the total tour time is account for us walking from spot to spot.
