Description
On
the banks of the Potomac River, Georgetown has had three centuries to
accumulate ghoulish tales and venerable apparitions to haunt its cobbled
streets and mansions. In this historic Washington, D.C., neighborhood, the eerie moans of three sisters
herald every death on the river, and on R Street, President Lincoln is rumored
to have witnessed the paranormal at a séance. Along the towpath of the C&O
Canal, a phantom police officer still walks his lonely beat, and on moonlit
nights, he is joined by a razor-wielding ghoul. From the spirit of a sea
captain who lingers in the Old Stone House to the strange ambiance of the Exorcist Steps, author and guide Tim Krepp takes readers on a chilling journey
through the ghostly lore of Georgetown.
