Have you ever wondered what secrets, hauntings and local legends are swirling around us? Join the Virginia Tech Historic Preservation Society for Myths, Mysteries, and Spirits: A Haunted Tour of Radford to hear the inside stories of what may be lurking in the shadows of the community. There will be three Haunted Tours the evening of October 26 at 5:15 p.m., 6:15 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
Guests will meet at Glencoe Mansion at 600 Unruh Dr. in Radford where they will get into the “spirit” of things with a creepy look into Victorian funeral customs, fears and superstitions. Guests will then join Mistress May Hem on the “Ghoul Bus” to explore the local legends surrounding some of Radford’s most storied sites.
The experience will conclude with a visit to the opulent and eerie “Ingles Castle” where a spooky cast of characters will guide individuals through the home. At the Castle, guests will meet face to face with the infamous “Lady in the Mirror.”
Each tour lasts one hour and 30 minutes. Tickets are required and space is limited. Tickets for adults are $15, and children 16 and under can participate for $10. Proceeds go to support the VT Historic Preservation Society.
Purchase tickets online at www.vtpreservation.org (with an additional processing fee). Tickets are also available at the Radford Public Library for purchase with cash or check. Due to site limitations, the tour requires climbing stairs and walking reasonable distances.
