Virginia Ghost Tours

I’ve discovered 23 ghost tours in Virginia so you’ll find lots of opportunity to hunt ghosts among its plantations, battlefields and old buildings. Leesburg was the site of a battle during the Civil War at Ball’s Bluff which is now reportedly haunted by soldiers who died there. And Ferry Plantation House in Virginia Beach has received reports of 11 ghosts haunting the residence.
