The Capital’s Dark History
Because the Capital of the Free World dates back to the Founding Fathers, it is positively oozing with unexplainable encounters and dark history.
The White House itself is inhabited by several ghostly residents with Abigail Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln being spotted by figures as respected as fellow presidents and first ladies.
To the rear of the White House lies Lafayette Park, also known as Tragedy Square. During its storied and often macabre history, the park was used as a graveyard, a zoo, an active slave market, a modest racetrack, and an encampment for soldiers during the War of 1812. Lafayette Park is bordered on all sides wit h restless spirits that wander its squares and the houses that surround it, including the Decatur House, St. John’s Church, and Octagon House.
Twisted Tales of the District
