Alexandria’s Haunted History
Alexandria’s history reaches back more than 13,000 years, with many of the city’s events shaping the United States into the country it is today.
The history of Alexandria turned tragic when it became linked to slavery by becoming one of the largest domestic slave trading ports in America, and the city flourished from the unpaid labor of enslaved African Americans. During the Civil War, some accounts witnessed up to four bodies piled on top of each other along the sidewalks with an ankle-deep river of blood flowing along N Fairfax Street.
Combine Hauntings With Spirits
Despite so much death, disease, and destruction in Alexandria’s past, generations of residents have coped through their love of alcoholic drinks and spirits. We know all too well that drinks certainly help people deal with unexplainable things, paranormal phenomena, and ghostly sightings.
On our tour, we’ll indulge you with some tales of the paranormal while you get a taste of the city from the myriad of alcoholic offerings at the city’s pubs, taverns, and bars.
What Will You See on Our Alexandria Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl?
On our Alexandria Boos and Booze Haunted Pub Crawl Tour, we’ll take you to some of the most frightening spots in the city and tell you the tales linked to these seemingly-innocent historic buildings. You might see a ghostly woman lighting a candle in the window of Gadsby’s Tavern or you could hear the angry stomping at the Ramsay house, whose spirit is still bitter about being separated from his love.
As Alexandria was once George Washington’s old stomping grounds, naturally people have spotted his ghost riding his white horse through the streets before it vanishes into the ether, perhaps on his way hom e or to survey another piece of land or running the affairs of the new country.
