After visiting the Victory Center, we had a pasta dinner then headed to Williamsburg for our Ghost tour. We arrived at Williamsburg early enough to stop for ice cream at Baskin Robins.

Then we began our "The Original Ghosts of Williamsburg Candlelight Tour." We selected this tour because it was sponsored by Barnes and Nobles and was based on the book The Ghosts of Williamsburg by L.B. Taylor. We enjoyed the tour because not only did the guide tell us ghost stories, but she also told us a few interesting historical facts.
Our guide
The haunted Wythe House
The haunted Randolph House
Statue of Lord Botetourt . Our Guide explained that he was flaunting his calve muscles because large calves indicated that a person attended many balls which meant that he was affluent.
Our guide also explained that many colonists could not read. As a result, signs were created based on symbols. This is the sign for Hartwell Perry's Tavern.
We enjoyed our tour however, we did not see any ghosts. I guess we just don't have that 6th sense. :) After our tour we headed back to the hotel to sleep so that we'd be prepared for our next day at Busch Gardens.
