Stranger Than Fiction
Stranger Than Fiction focuses on the weird and unusual history that accompanies the town of Ashland’s hauntings. We dive into stories that’ve been passed down and speculated on for some time, as well as the evidence to support bizarre rumors and strange occurrences here in Virginia. Balancing history’s forgotten dark stories with the wildly peculiar, Stranger than Fiction will have you questioning if it’s really true… but it’s all just too strange to make up! This tour runs 60 minutes and is available spring through the fall.
