Activity itinerary

1799 New York Ave NW

  • 20m
Your night begins at one of Washington, D.C.’s most notoriously haunted homes. Built in 1800 and once used as a temporary White House after the War of 1812, the Octagon Museum carries centuries of tragedy within its walls. Guests have reported eerie sounds, ghostly apparitions, and an overwhelming sense of dread—especially near the infamous staircase, where legend tells of two daughters who met mysterious deaths. As you stand outside this historic mansion, you’ll hear chilling tales of séances, restless spirits, and lingering energy that refuses to leave.

1650 Pennsylvania Ave NW

  • 20m
Just steps from the White House stands one of the most haunted government buildings in America. With a long history of deaths, from construction accidents to tragic suicides, this grand structure is said to be filled with restless spirits. Visitors and staff alike have reported unexplained touches, shadowy figures, and ghostly voices echoing through its corridors. Among the most famous apparitions is Civil War photographer Mathew Brady, believed to still wander the halls, a lingering reminder of a troubled past tied to war and loss.

800 16th St NW

  • 20m
Now home to one of D.C.’s most luxurious hotels, this site hides a deeply tragic storey. The ghost of Marian “Clover” Adams, a socialite who died by suicide before her home was completed, is said to still haunt the property. Guests and staff have reported hearing a woman’s sobs, feeling sudden cold spots, and even experiencing unexplained touches. The scent of almonds or perfume often accompanies her presence, an eerie signature that suggests her spirit never truly left the place she never lived to enjoy.

1525 H St NW

  • 20m
Known as the “Church of Presidents,” this historic site has welcomed every US president since James Madison, but it may also host visitors from beyond. Legend says that when the church bell tolls for the death of an important figure, six mysterious figures dressed in white appear in the President’s pew at midnight, silently paying their respects before vanishing. Whether they are former leaders, spirits of the faithful, or something more divine, their presence adds a chilling layer to this otherwise sacred space.
