Highlights
- St. John’s Church - Your tour guide will lead you to the historic St. John’s Church. Known as the “President’s Church,” every U.S. President since James Madison has attended a service here. The guide will explore the legends of the 6 shrouded spectres that have haunted this location for centuries.
- Decatur House - This stop on the ghost tour visits one of the oldest standing residences in Washington, DC, the Decatur House. Named after Navy war hero Stephen Decatur, the Decatur House has had reports of being haunted by its legendary namesake.
- White House - The tour ends with the most haunted and most famous house in Washington, DC, The White House. The home to every President since John Adams. Here your guide will take you through the many stories of the ghosts witnessed here including past Presidents, First Ladies, and British soldiers.
- Dolley Madison House - The Dolley Madison House has a rich history as the Old Cosmos Club and the headquarters for Civil War General George McClellan, but it’s the ghost of First Lady Dolley Madison herself that has reportedly haunted this site for two centuries.
- The Hay-Adams - With a direct view of the White House, the historic, 5 star Hay-Adams Hotel has proudly hosted countless dignitaries and celebrities, but it’s the more paranormal guests that have lingered here for years. One of these spirits may be haunted by Marion-Clover Adams, who died under suspicious circumstances on this spot in 1885. Has her unsolved murder left her spirit restless and haunting this hotel?
- 712 Jackson Pl NW - At this otherwise nondescript home, one of the greatest tragedies occurred at what was once known as the Rathbone Residence. This fatal tragedy has left a very dark presence here, and even passersby with no knowledge of the terrible history here often subconsciously cross the street instinctively avoiding the sinister building’s shadow.
