What awaits
Venue marketing. A ghost tour operating in Richmond, Virginia includes Elmira Royster Shelton House on its walking route and tells visitors the house is reported haunted. Guests are told of sudden cold and of being touched by something they could not see. The tour ties the story to a fire in the site’s past. It is a private address on a walking route: see it from the street, and do not enter the property or its grounds. The account is the tour operator’s, recorded here as venue marketing rather than fact. Told on the route by The Original Richmond Ghost Tour Company Since 2004.
