The Haunted River Cruise Of Jamestown Island
The Historic Triangle is known to be one of the heavily haunted areas in the United States. Williamsburg with its heavier population, Yorktown with its battlefield but it all started with Jamestown and its marshy shores. Starting in 1607 the English Settlement was known for the impending death of its settlers as well as the indigenous Indians that scrummed to the illnesses brought by the settlers. This mix has produced some of the highest concentrations of ghost sightings and paranormal activity in the Historic Triangle.
It only makes sense to safely observe these ghostly scenes and hear the historic encounter aboard a safe watercraft. The area’s only water Ghost tour departs Jamestown Island on the shores of the James River for an hour long adventure. The Coast Guard Certified pontoon boat is comfortable and has a restroom.Â
