Description

Ghost stories from the DC Metro Area have never been so creepy, fun, and full of mystery

Welcome to the spooky DC Metro Area

Stay alert Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.

Did you know that the White House is home to American presidents⏤both living and dead? Or that in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a headless horseman rides on Game Preserve Road? Can you believe an old zookeeper at the Smithsonian's National Zoo still cares for his beloved animals . . . from beyond the grave?

Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see the DC Metro Area forever, and have you sleeping with the lights on

About the Author

Marianna Randazzo is a retired teacher and author who loves spooky stories, history, and helping others. A lifelong New Yorker, she has introduced hundreds of students to the mysterious tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, and other great authors. Marianna also writes for Humble Heroes of FDNY, a group that visits children in hospitals and schools dressed as real-life superheroes. Her favorite audience, though, is her five grandchildren--Gaspare Robert, Violet, Gaspare Holden, George, and Lucy Lena--who always ask for "just one more story."
