Before the screams of roller coasters echoed through the woods of Williamsburg, thousands of Native lives, colonial settlers, and enslaved people lived—and died—on this historic land. Beneath today’s cobblestones and coaster tracks are unmarked graves, lost cemeteries, and whispered stories the park was quite literally built over.
In this episode, we explore the stunning, story-rich Busch Gardens Williamsburg—not just as a theme park, but as a place where history and hauntings collide. From colonial-era skeletons discovered during construction to ghosts reported on coasters, something ancient stirs beneath the Old World charm.
