Just steps from the White House, explore one of the most haunted government buildings in America. With a history of accidents and tragic suicides, visitors and staff have experienced unexplained touches, shadowy figures, and ghostly voices. Civil War photographer Mathew Brady is believed to still wander these halls, a reminder of war and loss.

Visit a luxurious hotel with a tragic past. The ghost of Marian 'Clover' Adams, a socialite who died by suicide before her home was finished, is said to haunt the property. Guests report hearing sobs, feeling cold spots, and smelling perfumes or almonds—signs that her spirit remains tied to this place she never got to enjoy.
