Why is Alexandria Haunted?

Alexandria’s rich history includes significant historical events such as battles, epidemics, and unfathomable tragedies. Port City has been the site of turmoil and misfortune throughout the years, leaving behind a legacy of ghostly tales and haunting legends.

 

Though Alexandria has seen its fair share of tragedy, the Civil War remains one of the biggest contributors to the city’s harrowing hauntings. Occupied by Union troops, Alexandria served as a crucial hub for both the Union and Confederate forces. The perils of this war left a permanent stain on Port City and left a city filled with restless, tortured souls. Of course, the bloody battles aren’t the only thing that left a line of lingering spirits.

 

Outbreaks of incurable diseases and devastating natural disasters resulted in hundreds of early demises, adding to the number of spirits and hauntings that make up the city’s otherworldly aura. Combined with a plethora of tragic deaths, Alexandria is known as one of the most haunted cities in the nation.

 

The Alexandria Ghosts Ultimate Dead of Night Haunted Ghost Tour takes you on a journey into the heart of the city’s hauntings, introducing you to the stories that have captivated the ghostly community for years and keeps paranormal investigators coming back for more. Book your tour tonight!

You’re sick and tired of the National Mall

Alexandria is just a couple of train stops from DC. Most folks that come to Port City came while they were vacationing and do ... ing the Capitol huddle. Well, sooner or later, you just need to get away from it all. You just need to unwind and get a fresh wind that’s not so political, not so heavy on the history, and not so red-white-and-blue. Alexandria is an outskirt town that takes you back in time to an era where alliances weren’t that forged and set in stone, when betrayals were an everyday occurrence, and where cutthroats and highwaymen roamed the streets.

“Faced with the choice, George Washington actually preferred the sound of bullets whizzing by his head in battle over the s ... ound of silence.” — Daniel O’ Brian.



Alexandria was George Washington’s hometown.

Learn a bit about his childhood years and what forged him into the titan he ultimately became.
