What To Expect

Blair House

Known as the "President’s Guest House," Blair House has seen both dignitaries and death. During a failed assassination attempt in 1950, two police officers were shot, and their spirits are said to still stand watch. Guests have reported sudden chills, phantom gunshots, and an uneasy feeling—as if unseen eyes are always watching.

Eisenhower Executive Office Building

This grand building may be stunning, but the spirits trapped inside tell a darker story. Phantom footsteps echo through its ornate halls, and shadowy figures are often spotted moving past the windows late at night. Employees whisper about doors that lock on their own and unseen hands brushing against them in empty rooms.

Octagon Museum

A house of power, scandal, and restless spirits, the Octagon Museum is haunted by the tragic past of the Tayloe family. The ghost of a young woman—believed to have fallen to her death down the spiral staircase—has been seen lingering in the shadows. Unexplained cold spots and flickering lights are just the beginning of the eerie encounters within these walls.

General Jose Gervasio Artigas

The statue of the Uruguayan hero stands silent, but those who linger nearby report unsettling sensations. Some claim to hear hoofbeats on the pavement, as if a ghostly rider is circling the monument. On misty nights, eerie shadows stretch unnaturally long, taking on forms that don’t quite belong to the living.

National World War II Memorial

This solemn tribute to fallen heroes is not as empty as it seems after dark. Visitors have captured ghostly orbs in photos, and some report the distant sound of soldiers marching when no one is there. A sudden chill near the fountains has left many wondering if spirits of the past still stand guard.

Washington Monument

Towering over the city, this iconic obelisk has a long history of eerie occurrences. Some say the spirit of its namesake lingers nearby, while others report strange lights flickering inside the sealed stairwell. More than a few visitors have felt an invisible force tugging at their clothing, as if urging them to leave.

Lockkeeper's House

Once home to a lonely lockkeeper who oversaw the C&O Canal, this tiny house is said to be haunted by his restless spirit. Strange knocking sounds are heard from within, and passersby have spotted a shadowy figure standing at the window—only to vanish before their eyes. Those who step too close report an overwhelming sense of sorrow, as if stepping into a forgotten past.
