Description:

As one of the oldest cities in the country, it is no surprise that Washington, D.C. has one of the densest concentrations of paranormal phenomena. Get carried away on this spooky walking tour as it brings to light the sometimes terrifying otherworldliness of the capital city.

Outside the National Theatre on one end of the National Mall, you may see renowned actor John McCullough reprising his role as Hamlet—a part he first played more than 100 years ago. This apparition takes on the more traditional definition of a ghost, generally described as a solitary essence haunting particular locations, objects, or people they associated with in life.

Your guide points out some of the most famous and celebrated landmarks including the White House and shares some of the darker occurrences in the presidential palace. Explore lesser-known, yet all the more scary, spots such as the Hay-Adams Hotel—site of a grisly suicide before hotel construction began—and pass the Octagon House, known as the most haunted building inside the Beltway.
