General   •   October 2, 2025

Free Tours by Foot is offering a daily, family friendly Ghosts of Georgetown walking tour – perfect for spooky season! Stroll the historic streets, manicured gardens, and Victorian row houses and hear stories and secrets about DC’s oldest neighborhood. See one of the most haunted and historic buildings in DC, check out old porches painted Haint Blue to keep the spirits out, find out what happened at boarding schools turned hospitals during the American Civil War, and meet an eccentric man who built stairs to nowhere, slept in a coffin and refused to add electricity to his 1799 home. The tour ends at the Exorcist Stairs, where you’ll hear the true story that inspired a Georgetown student to write the book.
