Ghosts of Georgetown och Exorcist Steps Walking Tour
Beskrivning
Djupa, mörka hemligheter om ett bortglömt förflutet ligger bland de välskötta trädgårdarna och viktorianska radhusen i DC:s finaste stadsdel. Historiska personer stannade här och dokumenterade sina upplevelser i brev och tidskrifter. Vissa har aldrig lämnat och hemsökt dessa storslagna hem till denna dag. På denna familjevänliga natttur kommer du att lära dig om denna stad och bli förtrollad av dess förflutna, nutid och framtid. Halloween vibbar året runt. -Hör berättelser om en ung pojke som fastnat efter hans oavsiktliga död i det äldsta residenset i DC. -Lär dig vad som hände på sjukhus i inbördeskriget som får en lägenhet att verka obolig. -Lär dig om Abraham Lincolns sons förbannelse. -Hör en berättelse om en barnflis odödliga kärlek till hennes anklagelser - och hennes regler. -Se lampor flimra vid ett hus vars tidigare invånare hatade elektricitet och vars spöke hemsöker våra guider. -Avsluta turnén vid de berömda Exorcist Steps och hör hur den här filmen var baserad på en sann lokal historia. Vågar du gå nerför de läskiga trappan på natten?

Berättelser om dödsfall och spöken, rykten och mumling i Gamla stenhuset
Varför kommer ingen att bo i dessa lägenheter länge? Kunde byggnaden hålla minnen från när detta var ett inbördeskrigssjukhus, fullt av stön och saknad?
Gå på de läskiga gatorna på en nattlig promenad och prata om de sanna (eller så sanna som viktorianska invånare trodde) berättelserna om kusliga förbannelser, hemsökta hus och det makabra (men fortfarande familjevänligt!). En Halloween-stämning året runt.
Vi kommer att gå längs den gamla "high street" - det som en gång var en indiansk handelsväg och nu är hem för restauranger och butiker i grannskapet.
Det är ett legitimt spökhus – vi har sett spöket från en sedan länge bortgången invånare som vägrade lämna sitt livsverk i detta 1700-talshem.
Se de kusliga mörka spirorna på campus på natten när vi går på kullerstensgatorna.
Se de berömda exorciststegen.

Fun experience. Sonia was very knowledgeable and shared details that kept us engaged with anecdotes and local history. Would highly recommend!
Sonia was an amazing guide! So much history, fun and ghost stories!
Was incredibly underwhelming. Maybe there just aren’t enough good ghost stories to make a tour around and that’s why the guide included info on where Jackie Kennedy used to live and a house with a hanging “witch ball” in the window?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're sorry the tour didn't land the way you'd hoped. We do want to offer a little context, though, because we think it might reframe what you experienced. Our Georgetown Ghost Tour is focused exclusively on ghost stories, curses, and the paranormal history of the neighborhood as we intentionally leave the traditional history stops to our daytime tours; though we are always happy to answer questions guests have related to the history of this colonial neighborhood and someone asks about the Kennedys on every tour! A witch ball is a centuries-old talisman believed to trap evil spirits and is included in our discussion on paranormal aspects of the neighborhood; past and present. None of the stops on this tour are history stops and all, even the Kennedy stories, are related to ghosts, curses, and tragedy but it is a historic neighborhood and these stories weave the history of Georgetown through the tour.
The guide was knowledgeable and knew the area. He had some great stories but they were not all the ones listed on the itinerary. No mention of the university or a few others. Not a lot of ghost stories but a lot of history which was interesting.
Thank you so much for the kind words about our guide; we're glad his knowledge and storytelling came through! We do appreciate the honest feedback as well. You're right that our ghost tours are designed to focus on the paranormal stories of Georgetown rather than its broader history, so we're glad the historical detours were at least interesting, even if they weren't quite what you signed up for. We'll use your note about the itinerary coverage as a coaching opportunity with our team, because we want every guest to experience the full tour as designed. We hope you'll consider joining us again.
Wayne was amazing! Very knowledgeable and fluid in his stories. The experience itself is interesting, but the guide makes the tour.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Wayne. His knowledge and storytelling truly make the experience unforgettable. We appreciate your kind words!
The information on the tour was very intriguing and tied well into the history of our nation. Not scary and acceptable for most children. Trevor did a great job engaging the group and answering questions.
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Trevor. It's wonderful to hear the history, stories, and interactive experience made it enjoyable for everyone. We appreciate your feedback!

This tour was delightful! In addition to the haunted stops and stories, it was lovely to wander through Georgetown. Our guide, Sonia, was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, witty, and super friendly. She learned and retained all our names and hometowns, and was nice to talk to along the tour.
