Summary

Richmond, Virginia may be one of the most haunted cities in America—and for good reason. Built on centuries of conflict, tragedy, and transformation, its streets carry the echoes of war, the pain of enslavement, and the residual energy of those who never left. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Beth and Chris Houlihan of Haunts of Richmond, whose mission is to keep the city’s haunted history alive through their immersive tours and deep-rooted research. From the blood-soaked fields of the Civil War to the Virginia State Capital, the Houlihans share how Richmond became a paranormal powerhouse—and why the dead aren’t done telling their stories. This is Part Two of our conversation.
