Welcome to the ghosts of fredericksburg tour.

Peer beyond the veil with this spooky self-guided tour of Fredericksburg’s supernatural side. Guided by GPS and narrated by Mark Nesbitt, creator of the original Ghosts of Fredericksburg candlelight walking tours, it’s a ghost tour which operates completely on YOUR schedule! Hear chilling true tales of colonial specters, poltergeists in the Rising Sun Tavern, the infamous White Lady of Chatham, and more as you weave your way through this gorgeous, haunted city.

About the Tour

Your tour will begin at 600 Sophia Street, right near Riverfront Park. From here, you’ll walk to The Chimneys, where a ghostly harp player can sometimes be heard, and which has been host to unexplained footsteps and a persistent chill. After that you’ll head to the Fredericksburg Visitor Center. Believe it or not, even this is haunted, thanks to the building itself dating back almost 200 years!

As you pass the corner of Caroline and George Streets, you’ll hear about how spectral Union soldiers foiled a planned renovation of a historic property there. Just past that, at 1002 Caroline Street, Nesbitt will recount the tale of mysterious footprints which appeared in a long-locked room within this building.

Next, you’ll look across the Rappahannock River toward Chatham and learn the rich Revolutionary history of that town… as well as the story behind the infamous White Lady of Chatham.

Then it’s on to the Lewis House, supposedly still inhabited by the vengeful spirit of Fielding Lewis, brother-in-law of none other than George Washington. The Rising Sun Tavern, up next, was much beloved by tavern keeper John Frazer… so much so that he’s rumored to have never left!

You’ll continue walking until you reach 303 Falquier Street. Here, a tragic suicide has resulted in years of strange and inexplicable phenomena, reported by visitors and employees alike. The Kenmore Inn, just down the street, was made into an impromptu Union hospital during the Civil War. As you can imagine, all the grisly violence this inn saw left plenty of restless, unquiet dead behind.

No ghost tour would be complete without a visit to a cemetery, so you’ll head next to St. George Episcopal Church and Cemetery. Dating back to 1858, this church has been of great interest to ghost hunters for decades, and you’ll find out why as you approach!

Finally, you’ll walk back toward The Chimneys and hear another chilling tale about it, this one with roots in the famous Underground Railroad of Antebellum America. Your tour concludes here, just a block from where you began.

Tour start Address: 600 Sophia St , VA
