This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
Few places in the United States hold as much history — or as many lingering echoes — as Williamsburg, Virginia. Founded in 1632 as Middle Plantation and later renamed in 1699, the city grew into one of the most important colonies in early America. Today, Colonial Williamsburg spans more than 300 acres of preserved 18th- and 19th-century streets, homes, taverns, and original buildings. By day, it’s a living museum of American history. By night… some say the past walks freely.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Kelly M. Brennan — historian, researcher, and former creative lead for “Haunted Williamsburg.” Her work dives deep into the topics most people avoid: sex, death, magic, “insanity,” crime, punishment… and the ghosts believed to linger among the historic structures.
Dr. Brennan doesn’t just study the supernatural folklore of Colonial Williamsburg — she teaches it. As a professor at the College of William and Mary, she explores how America has commodified the paranormal, and why certain stories survive for centuries while others refuse to die. This is Part Two of our conversation.
