Welcome back to Shell's Spooky Stories! Tonight, I'm taking you deep beneath Richmond, Virginia to uncover the chilling true story behind one of the city's most enduring legends - The Richmond Vampire.
In October 1925, a devastating tunnel collapse trapped workers beneath Church Hill, leading to multiple deaths and the birth of a terrifying urban legend. But what really emerged from that tunnel? Was it Benjamin F. Mosby, a severely injured railway fireman, or something far more sinister?

- The true history of the cursed Church Hill Tunnel
- The real Benjamin F. Mosby and his tragic fate
- The mystery of W.W. Pool's mausoleum
