About this Event
Costumed guides portraying “agents of death” with Edgar Allan Poe portrayed by actor and historian Charles Wissinger will lead participants by candlelight on a spine-chilling tour through the historic park. At each stop, guests will encounter scenes from Poe’s works, bringing to life poetry from the master of suspense. These portrayals will recount their stories and share some of the more macabre and spirit-filled folklore from the past.
Tours will be accompanied by sights and sounds that heighten the senses while breaking the silence of the night. Inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, the naturally haunting atmosphere of Pamplin Historical Park gives visitors a rare opportunity to experience the Park and battlefield after dark. “Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.” – Edgar Allen Poe.
