a haunted tour guide

"Yorktown, Virginia, is a picturesque and historic colonial village situated along the York River. But beneath its beauty lies a dark history of war and bloodshed. Through legends, interviews, and paranormal ghost investigations, tour over 25 haunted locations to experience the spirits that have lingered behind. Walk along Crawford Road to see ghostly Revolutionary War soldiers accompanied by the sounds of drums and cadence calls. Join marines at Yorktown Naval Weapons Station as they are confronted by sounds of a galloping horse and the clatter of wagon wheels--a re-enactment of a terrible carriage accident in colonial times. Talk with long-dead townspeople still hiding in the Cornwallis Cave from the time of the Siege of Yorktown in the 1700s. Visit the Dudley Digges House to see a spirit floating above her death bed in a blood-soaked gown. Each story provides touring and historic information for your visit. Stay alert for a spirited time!"--, Page [4] of cover
