Charlottesville Ghost Tour

Charlottesville boasts a unique culture that some might find to be strange, unsettling, or even, disturbing, and parts of its haunted history aren’t exactly posted on door signs. Unbury what’s been buried and die into the demented and troubled past of this southern city. Pay a visit to Comyn Hall, the infamous final resting place of Fannie McCue, who was found viciously murdered in her home. While there may be several stories and real-life accounts of what actually happened that fateful night, one thing’s for sure: Fannie’s soul has never left the home where her life was taken so violently. Guests, passersby, and residents have frequently reported hearing the spine-tingling sound of disembodied footsteps wandering the home at night, in addition to hushed arguments and strange voices. Other eerie, bizarre occurrences have taken place in the decades following her death, including faucets seemingly turning on by themselves, and phantom-like shadows lingering in the dark corridors.

Before Charlottesville was colonized by Puritan settlers, Native American people lived on this land. But their experiences living in the areas surrounding Charlottesville were often filled with fright, horror, and inexplicable encounters with eerie creatures, who roamed the woods in the moonlight. Their cautionary folktales have continued to be especially relevant, as ghoulish creatures and nightmarish cryptids like the infamous “Not Deer” have hunted after Charlottesville residents for years. If you’re curious about what really lives deep in these woods, join us for a chilling adventure into the mystic and the unknown….if you dare.

Ghouls, horrifying creatures, and shadowy figures…even if you roll your eyes at the mention of ghosts, there’s no denying that Charlottesville has an especially horrifying history that’s bound to send a shiver down your spine. From the very house where Fannie McCue was brutally murdered to the Old Albemarle Jail, where hundreds of inmates once suffered in agony, no one building in Charlottesville has been left untouched by the curse that seems to linger over this famously haunted city. No matter your ghastly preference, Charlottesville has something for everyone…and might just push you to the side of believers.
