Washington DC was built on a swamp, designed by Freemasons, and has been the stage for assassinations, conspiracies, and political scandals for over two centuries. It's no wonder the nation's capital is crawling with ghosts. Ghost City Tours' Washington DC Haunted Pub Crawl takes you into the historic taverns and Georgetown watering holes where presidents plotted, spies traded secrets, and the ghosts of America's most powerful figures still raise a glass from beyond the grave.
From the Civil War-era saloons near Ford's Theatre to the gaslit pubs of Georgetown where political intrigue and paranormal activity go hand in hand, this crawl serves up DC's darkest history with a cocktail chaser. Your guide will reveal the haunted secrets that the history books left out—tales of Lincoln's ghost, phantom soldiers, and the spirits that still haunt the bars where deals were made and lives were lost.
