Highlights
- 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.

Highly recommend! - 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.

Highly entertaining! - 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!!

DC at night = gorgeous - 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.

Fun ghost tour and not scary - 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.
