Our tours and public presentations are meticulously researched. We are hardcore research nerds and take it very seriously. Our primary sources are historic newspapers - you will hear true, historically documented events, no faking it here. Our stories have largely been lost to time and have not been told in the city in any recent years.

Hear spine tingling tales of hundreds of drownings at Richmond’s old wharves, the Southern Railway train disaster of 1909, and the Curse of American Tobacco Company, a series of tragedies that befell the staff of the Durham based company in the Richmond division.
