Overview

Beneath the opulent veneers of Richmond's gilded age architecture and the day-to-day life of academia, bubble tales of chilling haunts, macabre murders, and bizarre paranormal activity. Join us for a spooky stroll around the Monroe Park campus as we explore stories that are often left out of your typical college brochures. Cloaked in the shadows of the beautiful and historic neighborhood, this tour includes the following spirited tales:

The grim history of Monroe Park that lies hidden under the well-tended landscape of today, a hospital-turned-student dorm that still houses the spirits of long-departed patients, the ghosts of a landmark theater, and more...

Your Guide will share with you the history of the neighborhood, and how it relates to the tales of the mysterious and tragic things that have led to numerous reports of paranormal activity along the tour route.
