Step into the heart of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, and prepare yourself for an evening steeped in legends, ghostly tales, and a taste of modern 'spirit': the Colonial Ghosts Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl by US Ghost Adventures. You might not be the same after this spine-chilling journey into Virginia's storied past, filled with ghostly encounters, visits to haunted pubs, and glimpses into the lore that threads this region's rich history.
As night descends and the crowds subside, gather your courage and set off with your expert guide on a lantern-lit expedition with a twist. Expect to spend around two hours on this immersive journey, journeying into the historical district's hidden corners, cobblestone pathways, and into its antique taverns.

Your journey weaves through a selection of haunted pubs, where local legends are brought back to life over pints of local ale. You'll be on the trail of spectral tavern patrons, still apparently enjoying their drink, centuries on. However, it's not all paranormal; you'll also be treated to the legendary Virginian hospitality and couple it with top-notch room-temperature lagers and ales, or that spicy Bloody Mary you've been craving.
Each pub has a tale to tell, an anecdote to share, a ghostly patron to raise a drink to. Let your seasoned guide, a professional story-teller, take you deep into Colonial Williamsburg's legendary past. Besides the chilling stories of hauntings, you would also hear about the famous figures that once roamed these very streets. And who knows, apart from picking the choice spirits, you might end up gaining a new perspective about the tumultuous era when the fledgling colonies were blazing their trails towards becoming the United States of America.
