Description:

Stroll through eerie Lafayette Park, Washington, D.C.'s scariest neighborhood. Pass the ghostly homes of navy heroes Stephen Decatur and John Toyle, and learn about Henry Adams and his troubled wife, Clover.

Your first stop is at The Octagon, considered the most spine-chilling home in the city. This 19th-century brick home is said to be haunted by the owner’s daughters as well as the slaves who once lived there. Listen closely as your tour guide shares the chilling tales of how their lives were tragically lost and where their ghosts have been sighted.

Head over to Lafayette Park and hear the stories of the ghosts and spirits that roam the grounds. Learn about the tragic love story of Henry Adams and his wife, Clover, who haunts the Hay-Adams hotel. Your tour ends with a visit to the home of Stephen Decatur, who continues to wander around the house more than 100 years after his death.
