Your Itinerary

U.S. Capitol

You may have learned a pretty good bit about this place in your history class, but we are going to tell you what your teacher didn’t. This place is crawling with the restless dead. We’ve got everything from bloodstains on the staircase to the phantom of one infernal feline.

Library of Congress

Here you will be learning not only about the contributions and sheer volume of books held within the world's second largest library, but also the spirits haunting its walls.

Folger Shakespeare Library

George Eberhart once said that there are two reasons a library is haunted. The first is that the library was the scene of a tragedy. The second is that the former caretakers, librarians, and benefactors of the library are too attached to their collections to leave. Here you will find out which of the two is the cause of the hauntings within this great library.

Richard was an amazing tour guide and filled the tour with the perfect mix of history and comedy. Our tour was intimate, it was only my friend, me, and one other party, so we were able to banter a little more than with a big group.

Our guide, Richard, greeted us and politely asked us to rest while the other couple arrived (just 5 of use on the tour) We started on time. Beautiful night of walking around the Capitol area of DC. Richard gave wonderful historical information at each stop, followed by the Ghosts associated with each locale. He was easy to hear and provided some photos of historical figures. He thoughtfully stopped where seating was available so we were able to comfortably listen to his interesting stories. He was likeable, fun and, at times, funny. Easy flat walking terrain and only short distances to negotiate. About an hour of very informative info. He graciously assisted with pictures. Highly Recommend tour, and Richard!

Our tour guide was so great. She was informative and she was funny. The time went by so fast and we really enjoyed ourselves, we not only got so many spooky stories but a lot of history as well.

Had a great time on the ghost tour and heard lots of ghost stories. Our guide was great. This isn’t a scary tour though so if you’re looking to be scared, this isn’t the tour for you.

We had a great time. The tour was entertaining and engaging. It was a fun way to learn about some of the city’s history as well!

Richard was a lovely ghost host - he had great stories, was engaging, and chose spots with seating along the way. It was perfectly timed with the right level of information and he made it extra spooky on a cold, rainy night.

Beautiful photo opportunities - it was raining and the reflection of the Capitol on the wet ground was amazing (so don’t let rain deter you - they tour rain or shine). The guide was delightfully entertaining! He shared many facts about DC - and lots of historical haunted folklore. Definitely recommend for many reasons!!

Our guide, Shaw, was very nice and personable. DC at night is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the tour was overbooked. The description stated the group was capped at 15, but we were over that number by at least five. The experience would’ve been better if the group would’ve been split in two smaller groups, each with a guide.
