Guidelines

Remain calm.

Ghosts don’t hurt people. Poltergeists do, but hopefully we won’t meet any of them.

Be polite.

These spirits were all once living people. Please be polite if you're graced with their presence.

Do not provoke the spirits.

Being a ghost is hard enough, please don’t make it any harder.

Stay together.

Much as being the ghost of a cultural luminary might seem cool, we want to keep all our guests in the realm of the living, try to stay with us.

Watch your step.

To help us meet our above stated goal, please mind your step.

Why is Virginia Beach so Haunted

 

Virginia Beach’s haunted reputation stems from its rich history of maritime tragedies, wartime events, and mysterious disappearances. As a coastal city, it has seen countless shipwrecks and storms, with many sailors and travelers lost at sea, their spirits believed to wander the shores. The area’s deep military roots and conflicts have also left a mark, with tales of lingering soldiers and ghostly figures tied to naval history. Additionally, legends of sea creatures, mermaids, and ghost ships add to the eerie atmosphere. With a past filled with mystery and loss, it’s no wonder Virginia Beach is home to so many ghostly encounters.
