Virginia Beach is a hotspot for tourists and family vacationers. The sunny beach and beautiful sunset shroud sinister secrets. One of the original colonial settlements, a rich history, sometimes comes at a price. Join us as we dig beneath the sand and uncover the dark past that stained this historic beach.
Visit the monuments, statues, and the last resting places of spirits that line the boardwalk. Hundreds of years’ worth of history, tragedy, and heartbreak are hidden beneath the surface. Learn about the several unexplained encounters that will make you think twice before taking a walk at night on the beach.
Virginia Beach Surf & Rescue Museum
Initially built in 1903 along the oceanfront, the Old Coast Guard Station saw many frightful sights before being converted into a museum years later. The staffers working there report echoes of maniacal laughter from ghosts of shipwreck victims lurking in the museum’s attic. In the deep of night, you might hear phantom footsteps leading to the guard tower.
Norwegian Lady
In 1891, a cargo ship named Dictator sailed out of Pensacola, Florida, bound for England. After being cast off-track during a storm, it wrecked in the waters off the coast. Although rescuers tried to save the crew, many died, including the captain’s wife and child. The figurehead of the Norwegian Lady commemorates this fallen ship, and they say you can still hear a child crying out for its mother in the sea breeze.
Witch of Pungo
Grace Sherwood, better known as the Witch of Pungo, was the last woman to be convicted of Witchcraft in the United States. When drought crippled the local food supply, many pointed the finger at Sherwood, whose beauty and healing abilities were the envy of Virginia Beach. After being convicted and nearly drowned in Witch Duck Bay, her spirit still returns to this spot to haunt those who persecuted her.

Why You Should Book Your Virginia Beach Ghost Tour Tonight!
YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE UNIQUE CULTURE OF THIS SEASIDE TOWN
Tragedy, spine-tingling ghost encounters and strange, inexplicable death have all come to lay the foundation of this popular oceanfront destination. So why limit yourself to the safe and predictable? Travel like a local and join Neptune Ghosts on a one-hour stroll down Virginia Beach’s famous boardwalk, where the souls of long-dead pirates, ghouls, and former residents are said to roam once the sun goes down. Look out at the dark expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, and come face-to-face with a natural entity that has swallowed up thousands of innocent lives in its cruel waves. Hear chilling, authentic accounts of the boardwalk’s famous ghosts, and learn exactly why this seemingly charming tourist destination has a unique culture like no other thanks to its dark past and legacy of suffering.
YOU’RE FASCINATED BY SINGING SIRENS AND DEADLY SEA MONSTERS
Did you know that more than 80% of the ocean has never been mapped, explored, or even seen by humans? If you’re curious about what really lies deep in the depths of the Atlantic, join Neptune Ghosts to hear the terrifying tales behind some of the most vicious sea monsters, many of which have lurked around Virginia Beach’s idyllic coast for centuries. Hear sordid stories about sinful creatures such as sirens, who have been said to drag helpless men into the water before dragging them under to their eventual deaths, thanks to their mesmerizing, eerie song. A local Virginia Beach resident once encountered one of these ungodly creatures, who he said appeared to him as a woman with a long, silver fishtail and rows of needle-sharp teeth. His story serves as a warning to visitors…meaning you should always keep your eyes open — and your eyes firmly closed — when visiting this famously haunted town.
YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS
It’s hard to be a skeptic in a place like Virginia Beach, but after a tour with Neptune Ghosts, you’ll find that sometimes, there’s no logical explanation for why strange and mysterious things keep happening around this historic seaside city. Stop by what many consider to be some of Virginia’s most haunted locations, including the Old US Coast Guard Station, which once served as a fully-operational, live-saving station until workers claimed it was too haunted and potentially cursed after a series of inexplicable incidents. If there’s one place on Virginia’s coast that’s bound to send a shiver up your spine, it’s Virginia Beach, and you’ll have to see it to believe it.
YOU’RE SICK AND TIRED OF WATER ACTIVITIES
Parasailing, catamaran expeditions, sea kayaking…as fun as these can be, there’s likely going to come a point during your trip to Virginia Beach when you’d rather ditch your sea legs for solid ground. On your tour with Neptune Ghosts, you’ll get the chance to come face-to-face with some of Virginia Beach’s most popular haunted destinations and its legendary ghosts, from the apparitions of long-dead, shipwrecked sailors, to the ghost of the famous “Witch of Pungo,” who sometimes stalks the beaches today, perhaps, in revenge of those who attempted to kill and persecute her for witchcraft hundreds of years ago.
