🖤 We promise the ghost stories. The rest is up to the spirits.

Every now and then, a guest shares a photo that makes us stop and take a second look. This father and son captured something unusual near the cemetery after hearing one of our favorite stories.

We’ll let you read his own words and decide for yourself. 👻📸

“I wanted to share this photo from the tour last Saturday. Our guide mentioned that you all might be interested if we captured something unusual on camera.

While I’m usually skeptical about these things, I think you’ll find there’s definitely something between my son and me in this unmodified photograph taken near the cemetery behind the church. We took the picture shortly after hearing the story of the two children and playmates buried there.

At first glance, it looks like a shadow. But if you look closely, it appears in front of the gaps in the fence bars, making it seem both opaque and translucent at the same time. Toward the bottom, it becomes even more transparent, and it almost appears to be in motion.

Feel free to use or share the photo as you see fit. I only ask that any attribution remain anonymous for privacy reasons.”

• heard us whispering from three rooms away
• and somehow always knew when we were lying

Respectfully… moms may be the original paranormal investigators. 🔮

Cinco de Mayo checklist:
✔ Margaritas
✔ Good decisions (optional)
✔ Questioning what you just saw in the dark

Tonight, Kim’s got the lantern… and trust me, she’s not afraid to lead you straight into the questionable part of that checklist.

If you’re going to celebrate… you might as well do it somewhere that already has a reputation for spirits.

8PM. Be there. Or don’t… they’ll still be there.

May the Fourth be with you…
Ben: “Any questions before we begin?”
Also Ben: welcomes literally everything in the area

At this point we’re not sure if he’s starting a tour…
or accepting applications from the other side.

Happy Star Wars Day

🚨 Mayday… Mayday… 🚨

We’re receiving reports of unexplained footsteps…
flickering lanterns…
and voices with no source…

Signal traced back to Williamsburg.

If you feel a sudden chill tonight…
don’t panic.

If you see a figure just outside the lantern light—
…then you can panic.

Proceed with caution.
Or better yet—join us and find out for yourself.

Williamsburg is turning 250… and trust us, it has stories to tell. 🇺🇸🕯️

We’re calling on the Today Show to experience the birthplace of America… after dark.

Because behind the history, the cobblestone streets, and the candlelight… something else lingers.

Olivia is making her case… now it’s your turn 👀
