Deep inside the beltway lurks a darker side to the nation’s capital. From culture to bureaucracy, few landmarks leave a spotless record behind them. The assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the death of all involved in the fateful plot have left ghosts at several locations around Washington, D.C., and it’s only the beginning of D.C.’s tortured legacy.
From the former home of John Quincy Adams’s grandson to the sacred White House, DC Ghosts takes you to the capital’s most haunted locations, each touched by a gruesome piece of a tumultuous history.
The White House
It’s one of the most prestigious landmarks in the nation, but the events that developed its legacy are the same that made it one of America’s most haunted. Venture with DC Ghosts to the nation’s capital, where you’ll discover the melting pot of spirits that roam the halls and carry on as they did in their former lives. Learn why Abigail Adams refuses to leave and where President Lincoln’s spirit can be seen keeping an eye on his former position.
Theaters are never short of drama, especially behind the scenes. Such is the case with the National Theatre in Washington, D.C. DC Ghosts takes you to the famed theater, where tragedy went beyond theatrics and claimed the life of an actor in a twist set for the stage. Learn why the spirit of John McCullough has yet to move on and which play calls to his presence, spooking unsuspecting actors as they prepare to take the stage.
Initially designed to serve as the recreational grounds for the White House, Lafayette Square (formerly President’s Park) became a beacon for the wicked. At one point, the Square was home to a racetrack, and its former clientele are believed to be trying their luck in the afterlife. The ghostly gamblers don’t wander the grounds alone, however. Discover the love triangle that left one man dead and an angry spirit seeking revenge from beyond.
Washington, D.C., is known for its regal monuments dedicated to notable politicians, the city where laws are created, and its unique culture. But its tourist attractions and monumental position hide a darkness that lurks behind its historical sheen.
Reel in horror at the horrific tale of the first person to be executed by the federal government. Will you see Wilkes Booth skulking outside the theatre where his kidnapping attempt went so wrong? Reserve your tour today and experience the side of Washington, D.C., that rarely makes the news.
