Washington, D.C., is the place where all of the former American presidents worked, lived, and some of them – passed away. Do you think they've given ground peacefully? No way! Washington is the only city in the U.S. haunted by so many "fathers of the nation", and this in-app audio tour will take you on a thrilling adventure through the city's most haunted locations! The tour begins at the Octagon House, a mysterious building haunted by the First Lady with a tragic fate. As you walk through Lafayette Square, keep your eyes peeled for the ghostly apparitions of former Presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, said to haunt the historic park. But the real highlight of the tour is Ford's Theatre, the site of one of America's most infamous moments in history. You will hear about President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, and his ghost lingering in the theatre to this day. You'll feel a chill run down your spine as you step inside and hear the eerie stories surrounding this historic location. As the tour winds to a close, you'll make your way to The Capitol Building, a site rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of George Washington and ... the Demon Cat. This final stop will leave you with goosebumps as you learn about the building's dark past and the spirits that are said to still linger within.
