- Short Description
- D.C. has secrets it doesn’t whisper in the daylight—and on Dark Nights in D.C., you’ll hear them all. This 90-minute adults-only ghost tour pulls back the curtain on the capital’s most chilling true stories, from White House hauntings to presidential curses, tragic lovers, bloody duels, and spirits who still stalk the streets of power.
- You’ll begin at the haunted Octagon Museum, where the tortured souls of slaves and soldiers are said to cry out from inside the walls. From there, follow your guide to locations like the Eisenhower Executive Office Building—once described by Truman as “America’s greatest monstrosity”—where ghosts outnumber the staff. Hear about Decatur’s deadly duel and his ghostly return to the house he left to die, the haunted halls of the Hay-Adams Hotel, the ghost bell tolls at St. John’s Episcopal Church, and Dolley Madison’s lingering perfume at the Cutts-Madison House.
- From ghostly presidents to cursed senators, you’ll walk past Lafayette Square and up to the White House itself, where spectral doormen, phantom cats, and Abraham Lincoln’s spirit have all been seen. This tour weaves together brutal history, paranormal encounters, and irreverent storytelling into one unforgettable night in the nation’s capital.
- Perfect for fans of true crime, political scandal, and intelligent hauntings. Because in Washington, even the ghosts have skeletons in their closets.
