The Little Theatre of Alexandria anchors the first stop, a pub said to be infested with ghostly spirits and home to frequent unexplained occurrences reported by bar managers and staff. Your guide dives into why this iconic tavern draws so many reports. From there, the tour moves to a museum that ghost hunters claim houses some of Virginia's most active ghosts, and your guide explains the building's haunted history before you head to the Bayou Room, where you'll hear chilling stories about Alexandria's past while you order a drink.

The third stop takes you to City Hall, where hauntings have been reported by everyone from janitors to top political figures over the years. Your guide walks through the unexplained sightings and what fuels the activity today. The crawl wraps at a final bar known for both great drinks and its own haunted reputation, where your guide ties together the history of Alexandria's most notorious haunted pubs and spots.
