Washington DC Haunted White House Ghost Tour

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.
