The company offers several themed routes, including the Phantoms of Franklin Tour through the Court End and Capitol areas and the Shadows of Shockoe Tour through the Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Valley districts, alongside routes through Church Hill and around Virginia Commonwealth University's Court End medical campus.

Each Haunts of Richmond route ties a specific Richmond neighborhood's documented 19th-century history to reported paranormal activity at named stops along the way; the Phantoms of Franklin Tour covers the Court End and Capitol area including the Linden Row Inn and the Ellen Glasgow House, and the Shadows of Shockoe Tour covers Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Valley including the Adam Craig House. This is the operator's own marketing material, included here as a description of what the tours cover, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
