About this Event

Haunted Capitol Hill: Ghost Tour of Richmond’s Seat of Power

Capitol Square has stood at the center of Virginia’s story for centuries as a place where decisions were made, futures were shaped, and history unfolded in real time.

But power leaves an imprint.

On this guided walking tour, you’ll explore the grounds and surrounding streets of Capitol Hill, uncovering the events that defined Richmond’s role on the national stage. From moments of political tension to periods of profound upheaval, the stories here carry a weight that can still be felt today.

And some say, still experienced.

As you move through the square, your guide will share a blend of documented history and reported encounters, including accounts of unexplained footsteps, lingering figures, and moments that suggest not everything tied to this place has fully moved on.

This experience is designed for those who enjoy both history and a touch of the unknown. The tone is immersive and engaging, grounded in real events, with an atmosphere that builds as the night deepens.

What to expect:

  • Guided walking tour centered around Capitol Square
  • Stories focused on historic events and their lasting impact
  • A blend of historical detail and reported paranormal activity
  • Outdoor experience—please dress for the weather
  • Includes stairs and uneven terrain; may be difficult for those with limited mobility

Stand where history was made and discover what may still remain.
