These popular 90-minute walking tours take guests through historic downtown Leesburg, VA to various “spirited” homes and businesses. You’ll be led to these historic homes & businesses where historically costumed storytellers will relate the history and the ghostly tales of each site. The sites vary each year—keeping favorite locations while creating a different Hauntings experience!
“Once a year, through the generosity of the property owners, we’re able take the tours inside several of the haunted places. We have people coming from all over the country for this,” says Peter Kelpinski, Hauntings founder. “We have some sites where the stories need to be updated each year because new occurrences are documented over the past year.”
Hear about the widow who fought to keep her house and has never left. She even helps with the housework! Look for the Civil War Colonel who watches over the office staff during the day and many more spirits that do more than “go bump in the night!” “Our goal is to leave our guests unsettled, so they’ll be leery of turning off the lights at bedtime and a bit more suspicious of those little sounds one hears during the night,” Kelpinski adds with a chuckle. “We scare you the good old-fashioned way, with the fine art of well-told ghost stories.”
All proceeds benefit the Loudoun Museum.
