Adults Only The Dead Do Not Forget Richmond Ghost Tour

About this activity

Richmond has rebuilt itself many times, but some stories refuse to stay buried. The Dead Don’t Forget is a 90-minute adults-only ghost walking tour through Shockoe Bottom, designed for guests ages 16 and older who want a deeper look at the city’s darker history.

This tour also explores local paranormal traditions tied to Shockoe Bottom, including reports of footsteps, voices, shadowy figures, uneasy sensations, and stories that remain attached to places where the past was never fully resolved. This is an outdoor walking tour, and guests do not enter museums, stations, buildings, or tour stops.

The Dead Don’t Forget is not built around cheap scares or invented legends. It uses Richmond’s real history and reported hauntings to examine what remains when a city builds over painful ground, softens uncomfortable stories, and tries to move forward without fully remembering who was left behind.
