Richmond Ghosts, part of the US Ghost Adventures family, was founded by a former Marine with a deep appreciation for American history and community service. Though not a combat Marine, his time in the military instilled a strong sense of duty to preserve the stories of the past. This commitment is reflected in every tour we offer as we bring to life the haunted history of Virginia’s capital.
Beyond our tours, we are proud to support charitable causes, including the SYTA Youth Foundation and many others. By joining Richmond Ghosts, you’re not only exploring eerie tales but also contributing to efforts that make a difference in the community.
Richmond’s haunted past is deeply intertwined with the city’s rich and often tragic history. Early conflicts with Native tribes, including the story of Pocahontas and her ties to the area, have left a lasting imprint. The Battle of Bloody Run, where countless soldiers perished in a gruesome conflict, adds another layer to Richmond’s eerie past.
As the site of the First Continental Congress and a key location during the Civil War, Richmond has witnessed immense bloodshed and turmoil. The city also played a role in the Underground Railroad, where freedom seekers risked everything for a new life. Each of these events has left behind a trail of spirits, making Richmond one of the most haunted cities in the South.
