About this activity

Venture into the shadowy streets of Washington D.C. on our spine-tingling ghost tour, where eerie history meets the supernatural!

Guided by a local expert and master storyteller, you'll uncover chilling tales at the city’s most iconic sites. As you wander the historic district, brace yourself for spine-chilling accounts of ghostly presidents and infamous assassins that haunt these grounds.

On this mile-long journey, you’ll explore haunted hotspots like the Treasury Annex, where whispers of the past linger, and President’s Park, steeped in spectral lore. Stand before the White House, home to century-old ghost stories, and the Blair House, known for its unsettling encounters.

Even as we admire privately owned buildings from the outside, the paths you tread are rich with ghostly legends. Keep your senses sharp; the shadows may reveal secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Join us for a night of thrills, chills, and historical intrigue in the nation's haunted capital.
