Overview

The Most Haunted Houses

A Chilling Look at Spooky Homes in DC!

"I know not how it was -- but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit," wrote Edgar Allan Poe, describing the home of Roderick Usher.

Imagine the observations Mr. Poe might have penned about the homes encountered on this walk and their various owners. Some, like the fictional house of Usher, have disappeared into the fissures of history. Others, still stand as reminders of the often harrowing events that transpired within.

President Andrew Jackson, navy hero Stephen Decatur, man of letters Henry Adams and his wife Clover -- these are only a few of the famous Washingtonians whose homes have tales to tell. You'll end this walk at the house considered the most haunted home in the city: The Octagon. If the spirits are willing (and Octagon staff available), you'll receive an interior tour of the house. As you move from room to room, no doubt you'll agree, to quote Mr. Poe, that "evil things, in robes of sorrow, assailed the monarch's high estate."
