What To Expect

Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

Experience the many ghosts of this old colonial town that are still seen today. Learn of the hangings of Blackbeard’s crew and what happened to Blackbeard’s skull. Did our forefathers really drink from his skull? Stand right where Grace Sherwood, the most famous witch, is often seen during mock trials in the Capitol and hear of her fate, finally pardoned by Gov. Tim Kean after centuries of being called the Witch of Pungo. Learn of Anne Bonny and Mary Reed (a woman posing as Mark Reed) who were aboard Calico Jack’s ship and fought like men. Top it all off by going to the Jones Graveyard, where Ida Jones still haunts the graves today, in the late-night hours.
