Overview

Step into the shadows of Washington, DC on a gripping walking tour through historic Georgetown, where ivy-covered mansions hide Cold War secrets and restless spirits linger behind historic facades. This isn’t your typical ghost tour, it’s an immersive blend of real-life espionage, haunted legends, and secret history.

Walk Georgetown’s storied streets to hear chilling tales of haunted homes, secret CIA safehouses, and infamous betrayals. Stand outside the former residence of “Wild Bill” Donovan, father of modern American intelligence. Discover how Robert Todd Lincoln’s life was eerily intertwined with three presidential assassinations, and explore DC’s oldest, most haunted building, the Old Stone House.
