Overview

The White House is the most prominent location in the United States for several reasons: political, historical, cultural, and beyond. Every day, current and past events from the White House are relayed worldwide. Despite all the news that comes from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue daily, one key aspect consistently goes overlooked: The White House is haunted.

Scandalous side of White House? Who would've thought it? Join Tours by Foot for a walk through the neighborhood around the White House at night to talk about haunted buildings, presidential affairs, duels, murders and first ladies dabbling in the occult.

A ghost tour in Washington DC cannot be at a better location, other than White House, Lafayette Square. There have been a few violent deaths in the vicinity of this ‘Tragedy Square.’
