The Richmond Vampire: Virginia's Most Terrifying Urban Legend Explained - Ep. 46.

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?

What You'll Discover:

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
Modern sightings and ongoing paranormal activity
How real tragedy spawned an immortal legend

Join me as we separate fact from folklore in this bone-chilling tale that proves sometimes the most frightening stories are rooted in real events.
