Five Deaths at the Capitol

“I've never stayed the night in the Capitol, I have never personally seen a ghost but I would not be surprised and I trust anyone who says they've had these encounters, because so many people have died in the U.S. Capitol Building."

Tour Guide Tell All digs into the various rumored hauntings in one of our oldest buildings - the United States Capitol Building.  While there have been various deaths that have occured inside this grand structure, our guides highlight their five favorite deaths, ranging from shootings to bathtubs to fighting against bigotry and more.  In honor of October and the spooky season of Halloween, we've been exploring sites in D.C. that have hauntings, scandals, and dark history lurking in its shadows.
