SEA LEGENDS & GHOSTS: A DOWNTOWN WALKAROUND

Was a merchant from Norfolk the real Jack the Ripper?

Does the ghost of Dr. Richard Blow still haunt a Norfolk home?

Was a U.S. Navy destroyer teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk during WWII in a top secret Navy incident known as the Philadelphia Experiment?

Come walk the cobblestone streets of the historic Freemason Distric and Downtown Norfolk for a night of history and mystery as you learn about our very own sea legends, tales and ghosts. This sometimes eerie 60 minute trek will highlight some of the new as well as old haunts - like Freemason Abbey and the Wells Theater - believed to be one of the most haunted places in Virginia. Be sure to say goodnight to Ned!

Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes, wear light colored clothes and carry a flashlight.
