The Octagon Museum (reputed hauntings)

The Octagon House, which served briefly as the executive residence after 1814 and is now the Octagon Museum, has been the subject of repeated reports of unexplained occurrences such as cold spots, strange noises, and alleged apparitions reported by visitors and guides. It is a regular stop on Washington ghost tours and appears in accounts of the city's haunted locations. These reports are anecdotal and treated as claimed experiences or folklore rather than established facts.
