From the publisher

Places that are filled with history are also thought to be filled with ghosts. If that is true, then Washington, D.C.–a city that dates back to the earliest days of the United States of America–is surely one of the most haunted cities in the country. In A Haunted Capital, children visit eleven of the most haunted spots in Washington, D.C. and come across some of its most famous ghosts. Among them are a former president who never left the White House, a vice-president who still hurries to his office in the Capitol building, and a First Lady who has found a quiet and peaceful home–years after her death. The haunting photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spooky stories.
