Abingdon’s rich history predates the American Revolution, and Donnamarie Emmert, the Haint Mistress of Abingdon, shares some of its secrets, legends and ghost stories on her guided Spirit Tours. She has been sharing the Town’s tales for over 25 years. Having a Masters Degree in Storytelling, an outrageous love for of all things Halloween-y and that go bump in the night, and a ferocious attraction to history, she combines these skills into a memorable entertainment.
